FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to isolatedpolypeptides and polynucleotides, nucleic acid constructs comprisingsame, transgenic cells comprising same, transgenic plants transformedwith said nucleic acid constructs and transgenic plants exogenouslyexpressing same and more particularly, but not exclusively, to methodsof using same for increasing yield (e.g., seed yield, oil yield, harvestindex), biomass, photosynthetic capacity (e.g., leaf area), growth rate,vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, fertilizer useefficiency (e.g., nitrogen use efficiency) and/or abiotic stresstolerance of a plant.

Yield is affected by various factors, such as, the number and size ofthe plant organs, plant architecture (for example, the number ofbranches), grains set length, number of filled grains, vigor (e.g.seedling), growth rate, root development, utilization of water,nutrients (e.g., nitrogen) and fertilizers, and stress tolerance.

Crops such as, corn, rice, wheat, canola and soybean account for overhalf of total human caloric intake, whether through direct consumptionof the seeds themselves or through consumption of meat products raisedon processed seeds or forage. Seeds are also a source of sugars,proteins and oils and metabolites used in industrial processes. Theability to increase plant yield, whether through increase dry matteraccumulation rate, modifying cellulose or lignin composition, increasestalk strength, enlarge meristem size, change of plant branchingpattern, erectness of leaves, increase in fertilization efficiency,enhanced seed dry matter accumulation rate, modification of seeddevelopment, enhanced seed filling or by increasing the content of oil,starch or protein in the seeds would have many applications inagricultural and non-agricultural uses such as in the biotechnologicalproduction of pharmaceuticals, antibodies or vaccines.

Vegetable or seed oils are the major source of energy and nutrition inhuman and animal diet. They are also used for the production ofindustrial products, such as paints, inks and lubricants. In addition,plant oils represent renewable sources of long-chain hydrocarbons, whichcan be used as fuel. Since the currently used fossil fuels are finiteresources and are gradually being depleted, fast growing biomass cropsmay be used as alternative fuels or for energy feedstock and may reducethe dependence on fossil energy supplies. However, the major bottleneckfor increasing consumption of plant oils as bio-fuel is the oil price,which is still higher than fossil fuel. In addition, the production rateof plant oil is limited by the availability of agricultural land andwater. Thus, increasing plant oil yields from the same growing area caneffectively overcome the shortage in production space and can decreasevegetable oil prices at the same time.

Studies aiming at increasing plant oil yields focus on theidentification of genes involved in oil metabolism as well as in genescapable of increasing plant and seed yields in transgenic plants. Genesknown to be involved in increasing plant oil yields include thoseparticipating in fatty acid synthesis or sequestering such as desaturase[e.g., DELTA6, DELTA12 or acyl-ACP (Ssi2; Arabidopsis InformationResource (TAIR; arabidopsis (dot) org/). TAIR No. AT2G43710)]. OleosinA(TAIR No. AT3G01570) or FAD3 (TAIR No. AT2G29980), and varioustranscription factors and activators such as Lec1 [TAIR No. AT1G21970,Lotan et al. 1998. Cell. 26; 93(7):1195-205], Lec2 [TAIR No. AT1G28300,Santos Mendoza et al. 2005. FEBS Lett. 579(21):4666-70]. Fus3 (TAIR No.AT3G26790). ABI3 [TAIR No. AT3G24650. Lara et al. 2003. J Biol Chem.278(23): 21003-11] and Wri1 [TAIR No. AT3G54320, Cernac and Benning,2004. Plant J. 40(4): 575-85].

Genetic engineering efforts aiming at increasing oil content in plants(e.g., in seeds) include upregulating endoplasmic reticulum (FAD3) andplastidal (FAD7) fatty acid desaturases in potato (Zabrouskov V., etal., 2002; Physiol Plant, 116:172-185); over-expressing the GmDof4 andGmDof11 transcription factors (Wang H W et al., 2007; Plant J.52:716-29); over-expressing a yeast glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenaseunder the control of a seed-specific promoter (Vigeolas H. et al. 2007,Plant Biotechnol J. 5:431-41; U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 20060168684); usingArabidopsis FAE1 and yeast SLC1-1 genes for improvements in erucic acidand oil content in rapeseed (Katavic V, et al., 2000. Biochem Soc Trans.28:935-7).

Various patent applications disclose genes and proteins, which canincrease oil content in plants. These include for example, U.S. Pat.Appl. No. 20080076179 (lipid metabolism protein); U.S. Pat. Appl. No.20060206961 (the Ypr140w polypeptide); U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 20060174373[triacylglycerols synthesis enhancing protein (TEP)]; U.S. Pat. Appl.Nos. 20070169219, 20070006345, 20070006346 and 20060195943 (disclosetransgenic plants with improved nitrogen use efficiency which can beused for the conversion into fuel or chemical feedstocks); WO2008/122980(polynucleotides for increasing oil content, growth rate, biomass, yieldand/or vigor of a plant).

A common approach to promote plant growth has been, and continues to be,the use of natural as well as synthetic nutrients (fertilizers). Thus,fertilizers are the fuel behind the “green revolution”, directlyresponsible for the exceptional increase in crop yields during the last40 years, and are considered the number one overhead expense inagriculture. For example, inorganic nitrogenous fertilizers such asammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or urea, typically accounts for 40%of the costs associated with crops such as corn and wheat. Of the threemacronutrients provided as main fertilizers [Nitrogen (N). Phosphate (P)and Potassium (K)], nitrogen is often the rate-limiting element in plantgrowth and all field crops have a fundamental dependence on inorganicnitrogenous fertilizer. Nitrogen is responsible for biosynthesis ofamino and nucleic acids, prosthetic groups, plant hormones, plantchemical defenses, etc. and usually needs to be replenished every year,particularly for cereals, which comprise more than half of thecultivated areas worldwide. Thus, nitrogen is translocated to the shoot,where it is stored in the leaves and stalk during the rapid step ofplant development and up until flowering. In corn for example, plantsaccumulate the bulk of their organic nitrogen during the period of graingermination, and until flowering. Once fertilization of the plant hasoccurred, grains begin to form and become the main sink of plantnitrogen. The stored nitrogen can be then redistributed from the leavesand stalk that served as storage compartments until grain formation.

Since fertilizer is rapidly depleted from most soil types, it must besupplied to growing crops two or three times during the growing season.In addition, the low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of the main crops(e.g., in the range of only 30-70%) negatively affects the inputexpenses for the farmer, due to the excess fertilizer applied. Moreover,the over and inefficient use of fertilizers are major factorsresponsible for environmental problems such as eutrophication ofgroundwater, lakes, rivers and seas, nitrate pollution in drinking waterwhich can cause methemoglobinemia, phosphate pollution, atmosphericpollution and the like. However, in spite of the negative impact offertilizers on the environment, and the limits on fertilizer use, whichhave been legislated in several countries, the use of fertilizers isexpected to increase in order to support food and fiber production forrapid population growth on limited land resources. For example, it hasbeen estimated that by 2050, more than 150 million tons of nitrogenousfertilizer will be used worldwide annually.

Increased use efficiency of nitrogen by plants should enable crops to becultivated with lower fertilizer input, or alternatively to becultivated on soils of poorer quality and would therefore havesignificant economic impact in both developed and developingagricultural systems.

Genetic improvement of fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) in plants can begenerated either via traditional breeding or via genetic engineering.

Attempts to generate plants with increased FUE have been described inU.S. Pat. Appl. No. 20020046419 to Choo, et al.; U.S. Pat. Appl. No.20050108791 to Edgerton et al.; U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 20060179511 toChomet et al.; Good. A, et al. 2007 (Engineering nitrogen use efficiencywith alanine aminotransferase. Canadian Journal of Botany 85: 252-262);and Good A G et al. 2004 (Trends Plant Sci. 9:597-605).

Yanagisawa et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2004 101:7833-8)describe Dof1 transgenic plants, which exhibit improved growth underlow-nitrogen conditions.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,084,153 to Good et al. discloses the use of a stressresponsive promoter to control the expression of Alanine AmineTransferase (AlaAT) and transgenic canola plants with improved droughtand nitrogen deficiency tolerance when compared to control plants.

Abiotic stress (ABS; also referred to as “environmental stress”)conditions such as salinity, drought, flood, suboptimal temperature andtoxic chemical pollution, cause substantial damage to agriculturalplants. Most plants have evolved strategies to protect themselvesagainst these conditions. However, if the severity and duration of thestress conditions are too great, the effects on plant development,growth and yield of most crop plants are profound. Furthermore, most ofthe crop plants are highly susceptible to abiotic stress and thusnecessitate optimal growth conditions for commercial crop yields.Continuous exposure to stress causes major alterations in the plantmetabolism, which ultimately leads to cell death and consequently yieldlosses.

Drought is a gradual phenomenon, which involves periods of abnormallydry weather that persists long enough to produce serious hydrologicimbalances such as crop damage, water supply shortage and increasedsusceptibility to various diseases. In severe cases, drought can lastmany years and results in devastating effects on agriculture and watersupplies. Furthermore, drought is associated with increasesusceptibility to various diseases.

For most crop plants, the land regions of the world are too arid. Inaddition, overuse of available water results in increased loss ofagriculturally usable land (desertification), and increase of saltaccumulation in soils adds to the loss of available water in soils.

Salinity, high salt levels, affects one in five hectares of irrigatedland. None of the top five food crops, i.e., wheat, corn, rice,potatoes, and soybean, can tolerate excessive salt. Detrimental effectsof salt on plants result from both water deficit, which leads to osmoticstress (similar to drought stress), and the effect of excess sodium ionson critical biochemical processes. As with freezing and drought, highsalt causes water deficit; and the presence of high salt makes itdifficult for plant roots to extract water from their environment. Soilsalinity is thus one of the more important variables that determinewhether a plant may thrive. In many parts of the world, sizable landareas are uncultivable due to naturally high soil salinity. Thus,salination of soils that are used for agricultural production is asignificant and increasing problem in regions that rely heavily onagriculture, and is worsen by over-utilization, over-fertilization andwater shortage, typically caused by climatic change and the demands ofincreasing population. Salt tolerance is of particular importance earlyin a plant's lifecycle, since evaporation from the soil surface causesupward water movement, and salt accumulates in the upper soil layerwhere the seeds are placed. On the other hand, germination normallytakes place at a salt concentration, which is higher than the mean saltlevel in the whole soil profile.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction consist of ionic and osmotichomeostasis signaling pathways. The ionic aspect of salt stress issignaled via the SOS pathway where a calcium-responsive SOS3-SOS2protein kinase complex controls the expression and activity of iontransporters such as SOS1. The osmotic component of salt stress involvescomplex plant reactions that overlap with drought and/or cold stressresponses.

Suboptimal temperatures affect plant growth and development through thewhole plant life cycle. Thus, low temperatures reduce germination rateand high temperatures result in leaf necrosis. In addition, matureplants that are exposed to excess of heat may experience heat shock,which may arise in various organs, including leaves and particularlyfruit, when transpiration is insufficient to overcome heat stress. Heatalso damages cellular structures, including organelles and cytoskeleton,and impairs membrane function. Heat shock may produce a decrease inoverall protein synthesis, accompanied by expression of heat shockproteins, e.g., chaperones, which are involved in refolding proteinsdenatured by heat. High-temperature damage to pollen almost alwaysoccurs in conjunction with drought stress, and rarely occurs underwell-watered conditions. Combined stress can alter plant metabolism innovel ways. Excessive chilling conditions, e.g., low, but abovefreezing, temperatures affect crops of tropical origins, such assoybean, rice, maize, and cotton. Typical chilling damage includeswilting, necrosis, chlorosis or leakage of ions from cell membranes. Theunderlying mechanisms of chilling sensitivity are not completelyunderstood yet, but probably involve the level of membrane saturationand other physiological deficiencies. Excessive light conditions, whichoccur under clear atmospheric conditions subsequent to cold latesummer/autumn nights, can lead to photoinhibition of photosynthesis(disruption of photosynthesis). In addition, chilling may lead to yieldlosses and lower product quality through the delayed ripening of maize.

Common aspects of drought, cold and salt stress response [Reviewed inXiong and Zhu (2002) Plant Cell Environ. 25: 131-139] include: (a)transient changes in the cytoplasmic calcium levels early in thesignaling event; (b) signal transduction via mitogen-activated and/orcalcium dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) and protein phosphatases; (c)increases in abscisic acid levels in response to stress triggering asubset of responses; (d) inositol phosphates as signal molecules (atleast for a subset of the stress responsive transcriptional changes; (e)activation of phospholipases which in turn generates a diverse array ofsecond messenger molecules, some of which might regulate the activity ofstress responsive kinases; (f) induction of late embryogenesis abundant(LEA) type genes including the CRT/DRE responsive COR/RD genes; (g)increased levels of antioxidants and compatible osmolytes such asproline and soluble sugars; and (h) accumulation of reactive oxygenspecies such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals.Abscisic acid biosynthesis is regulated by osmotic stress at multiplesteps. Both ABA-dependent and -independent osmotic stress signalingfirst modify constitutively expressed transcription factors, leading tothe expression of early response transcriptional activators, which thenactivate downstream stress tolerance effector genes.

Several genes which increase tolerance to cold or salt stress can alsoimprove drought stress protection, these include for example, thetranscription factor AtCBF/DREB1, OsCDPK7 (Saijo et al. 2000, Plant J.23: 319-327) or AVP1 (a vacuolar pyrophosphatase-proton pump, Gaxiola etal. 2001, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98:11444-11449).

Studies have shown that plant adaptations to adverse environmentalconditions are complex genetic traits with polygenic nature.Conventional means for crop and horticultural improvements utilizeselective breeding techniques to identify plants having desirablecharacteristics. However, selective breeding is tedious, time consumingand has an unpredictable outcome. Furthermore, limited germplasmresources for yield improvement and incompatibility in crosses betweendistantly related plant species represent significant problemsencountered in conventional breeding. Advances in genetic engineeringhave allowed mankind to modify the germplasm of plants by expression ofgenes-of-interest in plants. Such a technology has the capacity togenerate crops or plants with improved economic, agronomic orhorticultural traits.

Genetic engineering efforts, aimed at conferring abiotic stresstolerance to transgenic crops, have been described in variouspublications [Apse and Blumwald (Curr Opin Biotechnol. 13:146-150.2002).Quesada et al. (Plant Physiol. 130:951-963, 2002), Holmström et al.(Nature 379: 683-684, 1996). Xu et al. (Plant Physiol 110: 249-257,1996), Pilon-Smits and Ebskamp (Plant Physiol 107: 125-130, 1995) andTarczynski et al. (Science 259: 508-510, 1993)].

Various patents and patent applications disclose genes and proteins,which can be used for increasing tolerance of plants to abioticstresses. These include for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,296,462 and5,356,816 (for increasing tolerance to cold stress); U.S. Pat. No.6,670,528 (for increasing ABST); U.S. Pat. No. 6,720,477 (for increasingABST); U.S. application Ser.

Nutrient deficiencies cause adaptations of the root architecture,particularly notably for example is the root proliferation withinnutrient rich patches to increase nutrient uptake. Nutrient deficienciescause also the activation of plant metabolic pathways, which maximizethe absorption, assimilation and distribution processes such as byactivating architectural changes. Engineering the expression of thetriggered genes may cause the plant to exhibit the architectural changesand enhanced metabolism also under other conditions.

In addition, it is widely known that the plants usually respond to waterdeficiency by creating a deeper root system that allows access tomoisture located in deeper soil layers. Triggering this effect willallow the plants to access nutrients and water located in deeper soilhorizons particularly those readily dissolved in water like nitrates.

Cotton and cotton by-products provide raw materials that are used toproduce a wealth of consumer-based products in addition to textilesincluding cotton foodstuffs, livestock feed, fertilizer and paper. Theproduction, marketing, consumption and trade of cotton-based productsgenerate an excess of $100 billion annually in the U.S. alone, makingcotton the number one value-added crop.

Even though 90% of cotton's value as a crop resides in the fiber (lint),yield and fiber quality has declined due to general erosion in geneticdiversity of cotton varieties, and an increased vulnerability of thecrop to environmental conditions.

There are many varieties of cotton plant, from which cotton fibers witha range of characteristics can be obtained and used for variousapplications. Cotton fibers may be characterized according to a varietyof properties, some of which are considered highly desirable within thetextile industry for the production of increasingly high qualityproducts and optimal exploitation of modem spinning technologies.

Commercially desirable properties include length, length uniformity,fineness, maturity ratio, decreased fuzz fiber production, micronaire,bundle strength, and single fiber strength. Much effort has been putinto the improvement of the characteristics of cotton fibers mainlyfocusing on fiber length and fiber fineness. In particular, there is agreat demand for cotton fibers of specific lengths.

A cotton fiber is composed of a single cell that has differentiated froman epidermal cell of the seed coat, developing through four stages,i.e., initiation, elongation, secondary cell wall thickening andmaturation stages. More specifically, the elongation of a cotton fibercommences in the epidermal cell of the ovule immediately followingflowering, after which the cotton fiber rapidly elongates forapproximately 21 days. Fiber elongation is then terminated, and asecondary cell wall is formed and grown through maturation to become amature cotton fiber.

Several candidate genes which are associated with the elongation,formation, quality and yield of cotton fibers were disclosed in variouspatent applications such as U.S. Pat.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to isolatedpolynucleotides and polypeptides, nucleic acid constructs, transgeniccells and transgenic plants comprising same and methods of generatingand using same, and, more particularly, but not exclusively, to methodsof increasing yield, harvest index, biomass, photosynthetic capacity,growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality abioticstress tolerance, fertilizer use efficiency (e.g., nitrogen useefficiency) and/or water use efficiency of a plant of a plant.

Thus, as shown in the Examples section which follows, the presentinventors have utilized bioinformatics tools to identify polynucleotideswhich enhance yield (e.g., seed yield, oil yield, oil content), growthrate, biomass, harvest index, photosynthetic capacity, vigor and/orabiotic stress tolerance of a plant. Genes which affect thetrait-of-interest were identified based on expression profiles of genesof several Barley, Sorghum, Maize, Brachypodium, Foxtail millet, Soybeanand Tomato ecotypes and accessions in various tissues and growthconditions, homology with genes known to affect the trait-of-interestand using digital expression profile in specific tissues and conditions(SEQ ID NOs: 1-473 (polynucleotides), SEQ ID NOs: 474-760(polypeptides). Table 1. Examples 1 and 3-14 of the Examples sectionwhich follows). Homologous (e.g., orthologous) polypeptides andpolynucleotides having the same function were also identified (SEQ IDNOs: 761-4805 (polynucleotides), SEQ ID NOs: 4806-8165 (polypeptides),Table 2, Example 2 of the Examples section which follows). Selectedgenes were cloned into binary vectors (Table 107, Example 15 of theExamples section which follows), and transformed into agrobacterium(Example 16 of the Examples section which follows) for generation oftransgenic plants (e.g., Arabidopsis and Brachypodium transgenic plants.Examples 17-18 of the Examples section which follows) over-expressingthe polynucleotides and polypeptides of some embodiments of theinvention. Transgenic plants over-expressing the identifiedpolynucleotides were evaluated for the effect of the transgene(exogenous expression of the transgene) under normal or stressconditions in greenhouse seed maturation assays (Examples 19 and 23 ofthe Examples section which follows), in greenhouse until bolting assays(Example 20 of the Examples section which follows), and in greenhouseuntil heading assays (Example 22 of the Examples section which follows).These experiments showed significant increases in dry weight, freshweight, leaf blade area, leaf number, plot coverage, harvest index, seedyield, 1000 seed weight, rosette area, rosette diameter, petiolerelative area TP2, petiole relative area TP3, petiole relative area TP4,as well as in growth rate of leaf number, plot coverage and rosettediameter in transgenic plants over-expressing the isolatedpolynucleotides of some embodiments of the invention as compared tocontrol (native, wild type) under the same growth conditions (Tables108-115). In addition, seedling analyses were performed to evaluate theT1 and T2 generations of transgenic plants over-expressing thepolynucleotides of the invention for increased biomass, root systems forabsorbing nitrogen from soil and photosynthetic capacity as compared tocontrol plants (Example 21 of the Examples section which follows, Tables116-121). These experiments showed significant increases in dry weight,fresh weight, leaf area, roots coverage, roots length, as well as ingrowth rate of leaf area, roots coverage and root length in transgenicplants over-expressing the isolated polynucleotides of some embodimentsof the invention as compared to control (native, wild type) under thesame growth conditions (Tables 116-121). Altogether, these resultssuggest the use of the novel polynucleotides and polypeptides of theinvention for increasing yield (including oil yield, seed yield and oilcontent), harvest index, growth rate, photosynthetic capacity, biomass,vigor, nitrogen use efficiency and/or abiotic stress tolerance of aplant.

Thus, according to an aspect of some embodiments of the invention, thereis provided method of increasing oil content, yield, harvest index,growth rate, biomass, vigor, fiber yield, fiber quality, fiber length,photosynthetic capacity, fertilizer use efficiency (e.g., nitrogen useefficiency) and/or abiotic stress tolerance of a plant, comprisingexpressing within the plant an exogenous polynucleotide comprising anucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide at least about 80%, atleast about 81%, at least about 82%, at least about 83%, at least about84%, at least about 85%, at least about 86%, at least about 87%, atleast about 88%, at least about 89%, at least about 90%, at least about91%, at least about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%, atleast about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about98%, at least about 99%, or more say 100% homologous (e.g., identical)to the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ IDNOs: 474-643, 645-679, 681-755, 757-760, 4806-6390, 6395-6396,6401-6895, 6897-7249, 7251-7685, 7687-7693, 7695-7700, 7702-7708,7710-7796, 7798-7816, 7818, 7820-7837, 7839-7840, 7842-7861, 7863-8134,8136-8163 and 8164, thereby increasing the oil content, yield, harvestindex, growth rate, biomass, vigor, fiber yield, fiber quality, fiberlength, photosynthetic capacity, fertilizer use efficiency (e.g.,nitrogen use efficiency) and/or abiotic stress tolerance of the plant.

As used herein the phrase “plant yield” refers to the amount (e.g., asdetermined by weight or size) or quantity (numbers) of tissues or organsproduced per plant or per growing season. Hence increased yield couldaffect the economic benefit one can obtain from the plant in a certaingrowing area and/or growing time.

It should be noted that a plant yield can be affected by variousparameters including, but not limited to, plant biomass; plant vigor;growth rate; seed yield; seed or grain quantity; seed or grain quality;oil yield; content of oil, starch and/or protein in harvested organs(e.g., seeds or vegetative parts of the plant); number of flowers(florets) per panicle (expressed as a ratio of number of filled seedsover number of primary panicles); harvest index; number of plants grownper area; number and size of harvested organs per plant and per area;number of plants per growing area (density); number of harvested organsin field; total leaf area; carbon assimilation and carbon partitioning(the distribution/allocation of carbon within the plant); resistance toshade; number of harvestable organs (e.g. seeds), seeds per pod, weightper seed; and modified architecture [such as increase stalk diameter,thickness or improvement of physical properties (e.g. elasticity)].

As used herein the phrase “seed yield” refers to the number or weight ofthe seeds per plant, seeds per pod, or per growing area or to the weightof a single seed, or to the oil extracted per seed. Hence, seed yieldcan be affected by seed dimensions (e.g., length, width, perimeter, areaand/or volume), number of (filled) seeds and seed filling rate and byseed oil content. Hence increase seed yield per plant could affect theeconomic benefit one can obtain from the plant in a certain growing areaand/or growing time; and increase seed yield per growing area could beachieved by increasing seed yield per plant, and/or by increasing numberof plants grown on the same given area.

The term “seed” (also referred to as “grain” or “kernel”) as used hereinrefers to a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering called the seedcoat (usually with some stored food), the product of the ripened ovuleof gymnosperm and angiosperm plants which occurs after fertilization andsome growth within the mother plant.

The phrase “oil content” as used herein refers to the amount of lipidsin a given plant organ, either the seeds (seed oil content) or thevegetative portion of the plant (vegetative oil content) and istypically expressed as percentage of dry weight (10% humidity of seeds)or wet weight (for vegetative portion).

It should be noted that oil content is affected by intrinsic oilproduction of a tissue (e.g., seed, vegetative portion), as well as themass or size of the oil-producing tissue per plant or per growth period.

In one embodiment, increase in oil content of the plant can be achievedby increasing the size/mass of a plant's tissue(s) which comprise oilper growth period. Thus, increased oil content of a plant can beachieved by increasing the yield, growth rate, biomass and vigor of theplant.

As used herein the phrase “plant biomass” refers to the amount (e.g.,measured in grams of air-dry tissue) of a tissue produced from the plantin a growing season, which could also determine or affect the plantyield or the yield per growing area. An increase in plant biomass can bein the whole plant or in parts thereof such as aboveground (harvestable)parts, vegetative biomass, roots and seeds.

As used herein the phrase “growth rate” refers to the increase in plantorgan/tissue size per time (can be measured in cm² per day or cm/day).

As used herein the phrase “photosynthetic capacity” (also known as“A_(max)”) is a measure of the maximum rate at which leaves are able tofix carbon during photosynthesis. It is typically measured as the amountof carbon dioxide that is fixed per square meter per second, for exampleas μmol m⁻² sec⁻¹. Plants are able to increase their photosyntheticcapacity by several modes of action, such as by increasing the totalleaves area (e.g., by increase of leaves area, increase in the number ofleaves, and increase in plant's vigor, e.g., the ability of the plant togrow new leaves along time course) as well as by increasing the abilityof the plant to efficiently execute carbon fixation in the leaves.Hence, the increase in total leaves area can be used as a reliablemeasurement parameter for photosynthetic capacity increment.

As used herein the phrase “plant vigor” refers to the amount (measuredby weight) of tissue produced by the plant in a given time. Henceincreased vigor could determine or affect the plant yield or the yieldper growing time or growing area. In addition, early vigor (seed and/orseedling) results in improved field stand.

Improving early vigor is an important objective of modern rice breedingprograms in both temperate and tropical rice cultivars. Long roots areimportant for proper soil anchorage in water-seeded rice. Where rice issown directly into flooded fields, and where plants must emerge rapidlythrough water, longer shoots are associated with vigour. Wheredrill-seeding is practiced, longer mesocotyls and coleoptiles areimportant for good seedling emergence. The ability to engineer earlyvigor into plants would be of great importance in agriculture. Forexample, poor early vigor has been a limitation to the introduction ofmaize (Zea mays L.) hybrids based on Corn Belt germplasm in the EuropeanAtlantic.

It should be noted that a plant yield can be determined under stress(e.g., abiotic stress, nitrogen-limiting conditions) and/or non-stress(normal) conditions.

As used herein, the phrase “non-stress conditions” refers to the growthconditions (e.g., water, temperature, light-dark cycles, humidity, saltconcentration, fertilizer concentration in soil, nutrient supply such asnitrogen, phosphorous and/or potassium), that do not significantly gobeyond the everyday climatic and other abiotic conditions that plantsmay encounter, and which allow optimal growth, metabolism, reproductionand/or viability of a plant at any stage in its life cycle (e.g., in acrop plant from seed to a mature plant and back to seed again). Personsskilled in the art are aware of normal soil conditions and climaticconditions for a given plant in a given geographic location. It shouldbe noted that while the non-stress conditions may include some mildvariations from the optimal conditions (which vary from one type/speciesof a plant to another), such variations do not cause the plant to ceasegrowing without the capacity to resume growth.

The phrase “abiotic stress” as used herein refers to any adverse effecton metabolism, growth, reproduction and/or viability of a plant.Accordingly, abiotic stress can be induced by suboptimal environmentalgrowth conditions such as, for example, salinity, osmotic stress, waterdeprivation, drought, flooding, freezing, low or high temperature, heavymetal toxicity, anaerobiosis, nutrient deficiency (e.g., nitrogendeficiency or limited nitrogen), atmospheric pollution or UVirradiation. The implications of abiotic stress are discussed in theBackground section.

The phrase “abiotic stress tolerance” as used herein refers to theability of a plant to endure an abiotic stress without suffering asubstantial alteration in metabolism, growth, productivity and/orviability.

Plants are subject to a range of environmental challenges. Several ofthese, including salt stress, general osmotic stress, drought stress andfreezing stress, have the ability to impact whole plant and cellularwater availability. Not surprisingly, then, plant responses to thiscollection of stresses are related. Zhu (0.2002) Ann. Rev. Plant Biol.53: 247-273 et al. note that “most studies on water stress signalinghave focused on salt stress primarily because plant responses to saltand drought are closely related and the mechanisms overlap”. Manyexamples of similar responses and pathways to this set of stresses havebeen documented. For example, the CBF transcription factors have beenshown to condition resistance to salt, freezing and drought (Kasuga etal. (1999) Nature Biotech. 17: 287-291). The Arabidopsis rd29B gene isinduced in response to both salt and dehydration stress, a process thatis mediated largely through an ABA signal transduction process (Uno etal. (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97: 11632-11637), resulting inaltered activity of transcription factors that bind to an upstreamelement within the rd29B promoter. In Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (iceplant), Patharker and Cushman have shown that a calcium-dependentprotein kinase (McCDPK1) is induced by exposure to both drought and saltstresses (Patharker and Cushman (2000) Plant J. 24: 679-691). Thestress-induced kinase was also shown to phosphorylate a transcriptionfactor, presumably altering its activity, although transcript levels ofthe target transcription factor are not altered in response to salt ordrought stress. Similarly, Saijo et al. demonstrated that a ricesalt/drought-induced calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (OsCDPK7)conferred increased salt and drought tolerance to rice whenoverexpressed (Saijo et al. (2000) Plant J. 23: 319-327).

Exposure to dehydration invokes similar survival strategies in plants asdoes freezing stress (see, for example, Yelenosky (1989) Plant Physiol89: 444-451) and drought stress induces freezing tolerance (see, forexample, Siminovitch et al. (1982) Plant Physiol 69: 250-255; and Guy etal. (1992) Planta 188: 265-270). In addition to the induction ofcold-acclimation proteins, strategies that allow plants to survive inlow water conditions may include, for example, reduced surface area, orsurface oil or wax production. In another example increased solutecontent of the plant prevents evaporation and water loss due to heat,drought, salinity, osmoticum, and the like therefore providing a betterplant tolerance to the above stresses.

It will be appreciated that some pathways involved in resistance to onestress (as described above), will also be involved in resistance toother stresses, regulated by the same or homologous genes. Of course,the overall resistance pathways are related, not identical, andtherefore not all genes controlling resistance to one stress willcontrol resistance to the other stresses. Nonetheless, if a geneconditions resistance to one of these stresses, it would be apparent toone skilled in the art to test for resistance to these related stresses.Methods of assessing stress resistance are further provided in theExamples section which follows.

As used herein the phrase “water use efficiency (WUE)” refers to thelevel of organic matter produced per unit of water consumed by theplant, i.e., the dry weight of a plant in relation to the plant's wateruse, e.g., the biomass produced per unit transpiration.

As used herein the phrase “fertilizer use efficiency” refers to themetabolic process(es) which lead to an increase in the plant's yield,biomass, vigor, and growth rate per fertilizer unit applied. Themetabolic process can be the uptake, spread, absorbent, accumulation,relocation (within the plant) and use of one or more of the minerals andorganic moieties absorbed by the plant, such as nitrogen, phosphatesand/or potassium.

As used herein the phrase “fertilizer-limiting conditions” refers togrowth conditions which include a level (e.g., concentration) of afertilizer applied which is below the level needed for normal plantmetabolism, growth, reproduction and/or viability.

As used herein the phrase “nitrogen use efficiency (NUE)” refers to themetabolic process(es) which lead to an increase in the plant's yield,biomass, vigor, and growth rate per nitrogen unit applied. The metabolicprocess can be the uptake, spread, absorbent, accumulation, relocation(within the plant) and use of nitrogen absorbed by the plant.

As used herein the phrase “nitrogen-limiting conditions” refers togrowth conditions which include a level (e.g., concentration) ofnitrogen (e.g., ammonium or nitrate) applied which is below the levelneeded for normal plant metabolism, growth, reproduction and/orviability.

Improved plant NUE and FUE is translated in the field into eitherharvesting similar quantities of yield, while implementing lessfertilizers, or increased yields gained by implementing the same levelsof fertilizers. Thus, improved NUE or FUE has a direct effect on plantyield in the field. Thus, the polynucleotides and polypeptides of someembodiments of the invention positively affect plant yield, seed yield,and plant biomass. In addition, the benefit of improved plant NUE willcertainly improve crop quality and biochemical constituents of the seedsuch as protein yield and oil yield.

It should be noted that improved ABST will confer plants with improvedvigor also under non-stress conditions, resulting in crops havingimproved biomass and/or yield e.g., elongated fibers for the cottonindustry, higher oil content.

The term “fiber” is usually inclusive of thick-walled conducting cellssuch as vessels and tracheids and to fibrillar aggregates of manyindividual fiber cells. Hence, the term “fiber” refers to (a)thick-walled conducting and non-conducting cells of the xylem; (b)fibers of extraxylary origin, including those from phloem, bark, groundtissue, and epidermis; and (c) fibers from stems, leaves, roots, seeds,and flowers or inflorescences (such as those of Sorghum vulgare used inthe manufacture of brushes and brooms).

Example of fiber producing plants, include, but are not limited to,agricultural crops such as cotton, silk cotton tree (Kapok, Ceibapentandra), desert willow, creosote bush, winterfat, balsa, kenaf,roselle, jute, sisal abaca, flax, corn, sugar cane, hemp, ramie, kapok,coir, bamboo, spanish moss and Agave spp. (e.g. sisal).

As used herein the phrase “fiber quality” refers to at least one fiberparameter which is agriculturally desired, or required in the fiberindustry (further described hereinbelow). Examples of such parameters,include but are not limited to, fiber length, fiber strength, fiberfitness, fiber weight per unit length, maturity ratio and uniformity(further described hereinbelow).

Cotton fiber (lint) quality is typically measured according to fiberlength, strength and fineness. Accordingly, the lint quality isconsidered higher when the fiber is longer, stronger and finer.

As used herein the phrase “fiber yield” refers to the amount or quantityof fibers produced from the fiber producing plant.

As used herein the term “increasing” refers to at least about 2%, atleast about 3%, at least about 4%, at least about 5%, at least about10%, at least about 15%, at least about 20%, at least about 30%, atleast about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about70%, at least about 80%, increase in yield, seed yield, biomass, growthrate, vigor, oil content, seed yield, fiber yield, fiber quality, fiberlength, photosynthetic capacity, abiotic stress tolerance, and/ornitrogen use efficiency of a plant as compared to a native plant or awild type plant [i.e., a plant not modified with the biomolecules(polynucleotide or polypeptides) of the invention, e.g., anon-transformed plant of the same species which is grown under the same(e.g., identical) growth conditions].

The phrase “expressing within the plant an exogenous polynucleotide” asused herein refers to upregulating the expression level of an exogenouspolynucleotide within the plant by introducing the exogenouspolynucleotide into a plant cell or plant and expressing by recombinantmeans, as further described herein below.

As used herein “expressing” refers to expression at the mRNA andoptionally polypeptide level.

As used herein, the phrase “exogenous polynucleotide” refers to aheterologous nucleic acid sequence which may not be naturally expressedwithin the plant (e.g., a nucleic acid sequence from a differentspecies) or which overexpression in the plant is desired. The exogenouspolynucleotide may be introduced into the plant in a stable or transientmanner, so as to produce a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule and/or apolypeptide molecule. It should be noted that the exogenouspolynucleotide may comprise a nucleic acid sequence which is identicalor partially homologous to an endogenous nucleic acid sequence of theplant.

The term “endogenous” as used herein refers to any polynucleotide orpolypeptide which is present and/or naturally expressed within a plantor a cell thereof.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the exogenouspolynucleotide of the invention comprises a nucleic acid sequenceencoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least about 80%,at least about 81%, at least about 82%, at least about 83%, at leastabout 84%, at least about 85%, at least about 86%, at least about 87%,at least about 88%, at least about 89%, at least about 90%, at leastabout 91%, at least about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%,at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, at leastabout 98%, at least about 99%, or more say 100% homologous (e.g.,identical) to the amino acid sequence selected from the group consistingof SEQ ID NOs: 474-643, 645-679, 681-755, 757-760, 4806-6390, 6395-6396,6401-6895, 6897-7249, 7251-7685, 7687-7693, 7695-7700, 7702-7708,7710-7796, 7798-7816, 7818, 7820-7837, 7839-7840, 7842-7861, 7863-8134,8136-8163 and 8164.

Homologous sequences include both orthologous and paralogous sequences.The term “paralogous” relates to gene-duplications within the genome ofa species leading to paralogous genes. The term “orthologous” relates tohomologous genes in different organisms due to ancestral relationship.Thus, orthologs are evolutionary counterparts derived from a singleancestral gene in the last common ancestor of given two species (KooninEV and Galperin MY (Sequence—Evolution—Function: ComputationalApproaches in Comparative Genomics. Boston: Kluwer Academic; 2003.Chapter 2. Evolutionary Concept in Genetics and Genomics. Availablefrom: ncbi (dot) nlm (dot) nih (dot) gov/books/NBK20255) and thereforehave great likelihood of having the same function.

One option to identify orthologues in monocot plant species is byperforming a reciprocal blast search. This may be done by a first blastinvolving blasting the sequence-of-interest against any sequencedatabase, such as the publicly available NCBI database which may befound at: ncbi (dot) nlm (dot) nih (dot) gov. If orthologues in ricewere sought, the sequence-of-interest would be blasted against, forexample, the 28.469 full-length cDNA clones from Oryza sativa Nipponbareavailable at NCBI. The blast results may be filtered. The full-lengthsequences of either the filtered results or the non-filtered results arethen blasted back (second blast) against the sequences of the organismfrom which the sequence-of-interest is derived. The results of the firstand second blasts are then compared. An orthologue is identified whenthe sequence resulting in the highest score (best hit) in the firstblast identifies in the second blast the query sequence (the originalsequence-of-interest) as the best hit. Using the same rational aparalogue (homolog to a gene in the same organism) is found. In case oflarge sequence families, the ClustalW program may be used [ebi (dot) ac(dot) uk/Tools/clustalw2/index (dot) html], followed by aneighbor-joining tree (wikipedia (dot) org/wiki/Neighbor-joining) whichhelps visualizing the clustering.

Homology (e.g., percent homology, sequence identity+sequence similarity)can be determined using any homology comparison software computing apairwise sequence alignment.

As used herein. “sequence identity” or “identity” in the context of twonucleic acid or polypeptide sequences includes reference to the residuesin the two sequences which are the same when aligned. When percentage ofsequence identity is used in reference to proteins it is recognized thatresidue positions which are not identical often differ by conservativeamino acid substitutions, where amino acid residues are substituted forother amino acid residues with similar chemical properties (e.g. chargeor hydrophobicity) and therefore do not change the functional propertiesof the molecule. Where sequences differ in conservative substitutions,the percent sequence identity may be adjusted upwards to correct for theconservative nature of the substitution. Sequences which differ by suchconservative substitutions are considered to have “sequence similarity”or “similarity”. Means for making this adjustment are well-known tothose of skill in the art. Typically this involves scoring aconservative substitution as a partial rather than a full mismatch,thereby increasing the percentage sequence identity. Thus, for example,where an identical amino acid is given a score of 1 and anon-conservative substitution is given a score of zero, a conservativesubstitution is given a score between zero and 1. The scoring ofconservative substitutions is calculated, e.g., according to thealgorithm of Henikoff S and Henikoff J G. [Amino acid substitutionmatrices from protein blocks. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1992,89(22): 10915-9].

Identity (e.g., percent homology) can be determined using any homologycomparison software, including for example, the BlastN software of theNational Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) such as by usingdefault parameters.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the identity is a globalidentity, i.e., an identity over the entire amino acid or nucleic acidsequences of the invention and not over portions thereof.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the term “homology” or“homologous” refers to identity of two or more nucleic acid sequences;or identity of two or more amino acid sequences; or the identity of anamino acid sequence to one or more nucleic acid sequence.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the homology is a globalhomology, i.e., a homology over the entire amino acid or nucleic acidsequences of the invention and not over portions thereof.

The degree of homology or identity between two or more sequences can bedetermined using various known sequence comparison tools. Following is anon-limiting description of such tools which can be used along with someembodiments of the invention.

Pairwise global alignment was defined by S. B. Needleman and C. D.Wunsch. “A general method applicable to the search of similarities inthe amino acid sequence of two proteins” Journal of Molecular Biology,1970, pages 443-53, volume 48).

For example, when starting from a polypeptide sequence and comparing toother polypeptide sequences, the EMBOSS-6.0.1 Needleman-Wunsch algorithm(available fromemboss(dot)sourceforge(dot)net/apps/cvs/emboss/apps/needle(dot)html) canbe used to find the optimum alignment (including gaps) of two sequencesalong their entire length—a “Global alignment”. Default parameters forNeedleman-Wunsch algorithm (EMBOSS-6.0.1) include: gapopen=10;gapextend=0.5; datafile=EBLOSUM62; brief=YES.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the parameters used withthe EMBOSS-6.0.1 tool (for protein-protein comparison) include:gapopen=8; gapextend=2; datafile=EBLOSUM62; brief=YES.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the threshold used todetermine homology using the EMBOSS-6.0.1 Needleman-Wunsch algorithm is80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%,94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%.

When starting from a polypeptide sequence and comparing topolynucleotide sequences, the OneModel FramePlus algorithm [Halperin,E., Faigler, S. and Gill-More, R. (1999)—FramePlus: aligning DNA toprotein sequences. Bioinformatics, 15, 867-873) (available frombiocceleration(dot)com/Products(dot)html] can be used with followingdefault parameters: model=frame+_p2n.model mode=local.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the parameters used withthe OneModel FramePlus algorithm are model=frame+_p2n.model,mode=qglobal.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the threshold used todetermine homology using the OneModel FramePlus algorithm is 80%, 81%,82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%,96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%.

When starting with a polynucleotide sequence and comparing to otherpolynucleotide sequences the EMBOSS-6.0.1 Needleman-Wunsch algorithm(available fromemboss(dot)sourceforge(dot)net/apps/cvs/emboss/apps/needle(dot)html) canbe used with the following default parameters: (EMBOSS-6.0.1)gapopen=10; gapextend=0.5; datafile=EDNAFULL; brief=YES.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the parameters used withthe EMBOSS-6.0.1 Needleman-Wunsch algorithm are gapopen=10;gapextend=0.2; datafile=EDNAFULL; brief=YES.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the threshold used todetermine homology using the EMBOSS-6.0.1 Needleman-Wunsch algorithm forcomparison of polynucleotides with polynucleotides is 80%, 81%, 82%,83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%,97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%.

According to some embodiment, determination of the degree of homologyfurther requires employing the Smith-Waterman algorithm (forprotein-protein comparison or nucleotide-nucleotide comparison).

Default parameters for GenCore 6.0 Smith-Waterman algorithm include:model=sw.model.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the threshold used todetermine homology using the Smith-Waterman algorithm is 80%, 81%, 82%,83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%,97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the global homology isperformed on sequences which are pre-selected by local homology to thepolypeptide or polynucleotide of interest (e.g., 60% identity over 60%of the sequence length), prior to performing the global homology to thepolypeptide or polynucleotide of interest (e.g., 80% global homology onthe entire sequence). For example, homologous sequences are selectedusing the BLAST software with the Blastp and tBlastn algorithms asfilters for the first stage, and the needle (EMBOSS package) or Frame+algorithm alignment for the second stage. Local identity (Blastalignments) is defined with a very permissive cutoff—60% Identity on aspan of 60% of the sequences lengths because it is used only as a filterfor the global alignment stage. In this specific embodiment (when thelocal identity is used), the default filtering of the Blast package isnot utilized (by setting the parameter “−F F”).

In the second stage, homologs are defined based on a global identity ofat least 80% to the core gene polypeptide sequence.

According to some embodiments of the invention, two distinct forms forfinding the optimal global alignment for protein or nucleotide sequencesare used:

1. Between two proteins (following the blastp filter): EMBOSS-6.0.1Needleman-Wunsch algorithm with the following modified parameters:gapopen=8 gapextend=2. The rest of the parameters are unchanged from thedefault options listed here:

[-asequence] sequence Sequence filename and optional format, orreference (input USA)

[-bsequence] seqall Sequence(s) filename and optional format, orreference (input USA)

-   -   gapopen float [10.0 for any sequence]. The gap open penalty is        the score taken away when a gap is created. The best value        depends on the choice of comparison matrix. The default value        assumes you are using the EBLOSUM62 matrix for protein        sequences, and the EDNAFULL matrix for nucleotide sequences.        (Floating point number from 1.0 to 100.0)    -   gapextend float [0.5 for any sequence]. The gap extension,        penalty is added to the standard gap penalty for each base or        residue in the gap. This is how long gaps are penalized. Usually        you will expect a few long gaps rather than many short gaps, so        the gap extension penalty should be lower than the gap penalty.        An exception is where one or both sequences are single reads        with possible sequencing errors in which case you would expect        many single base gaps. You can get this result by setting the        gap open penalty to zero (or very low) and using the gap        extension penalty to control gap scoring.

As used herein the term “polynucleotide” refers to a single or doublestranded nucleic acid sequence which is isolated and provided in theform of an RNA sequence, a complementary polynucleotide sequence (cDNA),a genomic polynucleotide sequence and/or a composite polynucleotidesequences (e.g., a combination of the above).

The term “isolated” refers to at least partially separated from thenatural environment e.g., from a plant cell.

As used herein the phrase “complementary polynucleotide sequence” refersto a sequence, which results from reverse transcription of messenger RNAusing a reverse transcriptase or any other RNA dependent DNA polymerase.Such a sequence can be subsequently amplified in vivo or in vitro usinga DNA dependent DNA polymerase.

As used herein the phrase “genomic polynucleotide sequence” refers to asequence derived (isolated) from a chromosome and thus it represents acontiguous portion of a chromosome.

As used herein the phrase “composite polynucleotide sequence” refers toa sequence, which is at least partially complementary and at leastpartially genomic. A composite sequence can include some exonalsequences required to encode the polypeptide of the present invention,as well as some intronic sequences interposing therebetween. Theintronic sequences can be of any source, including of other genes, andtypically will include conserved splicing signal sequences. Suchintronic sequences may further include cis acting expression regulatoryelements.

Nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptides of the presentinvention may be optimized for expression. Examples of such sequencemodifications include, but are not limited to, an altered G/C content tomore closely approach that typically found in the plant species ofinterest, and the removal of codons atypically found in the plantspecies commonly referred to as codon optimization.

The phrase “codon optimization” refers to the selection of appropriateDNA nucleotides for use within a structural gene or fragment thereofthat approaches codon usage within the plant of interest. Therefore, anoptimized gene or nucleic acid sequence refers to a gene in which thenucleotide sequence of a native or naturally occurring gene has beenmodified in order to utilize statistically-preferred orstatistically-favored codons within the plant. The nucleotide sequencetypically is examined at the DNA level and the coding region optimizedfor expression in the plant species determined using any suitableprocedure, for example as described in Sardana et al. (1996, Plant CellReports 15:677-681). In this method, the standard deviation of codonusage, a measure of codon usage bias, may be calculated by first findingthe squared proportional deviation of usage of each codon of the nativegene relative to that of highly expressed plant genes, followed by acalculation of the average squared deviation. The formula used is: 1SDCU=n=1 N [(Xn−Yn)/Yn]2/N, where Xn refers to the frequency of usage ofcodon n in highly expressed plant genes, where Yn to the frequency ofusage of codon n in the gene of interest and N refers to the totalnumber of codons in the gene of interest. A Table of codon usage fromhighly expressed genes of dicotyledonous plants is compiled using thedata of Murray et al. (1989. Nuc Acids Res. 17:477-498).

One method of optimizing the nucleic acid sequence in accordance withthe preferred codon usage for a particular plant cell type is based onthe direct use, without performing any extra statistical calculations,of codon optimization Tables such as those provided on-line at the CodonUsage Database through the NIAS (National Institute of AgrobiologicalSciences) DNA bank in Japan (kazusa (dot) or (dot) jp/codon/). The CodonUsage Database contains codon usage tables for a number of differentspecies, with each codon usage Table having been statisticallydetermined based on the data present in Genbank.

By using the above Tables to determine the most preferred or mostfavored codons for each amino acid in a particular species (for example,rice), a naturally-occurring nucleotide sequence encoding a protein ofinterest can be codon optimized for that particular plant species. Thisis effected by replacing codons that may have a low statisticalincidence in the particular species genome with corresponding codons, inregard to an amino acid, that are statistically more favored. However,one or more less-favored codons may be selected to delete existingrestriction sites, to create new ones at potentially useful junctions(5′ and 3′ ends to add signal peptide or termination cassettes, internalsites that might be used to cut and splice segments together to producea correct full-length sequence), or to eliminate nucleotide sequencesthat may negatively effect mRNA stability or expression.

The naturally-occurring encoding nucleotide sequence may already, inadvance of any modification, contain a number of codons that correspondto a statistically-favored codon in a particular plant species.Therefore, codon optimization of the native nucleotide sequence maycomprise determining which codons, within the native nucleotidesequence, are not statistically-favored with regards to a particularplant, and modifying these codons in accordance with a codon usage tableof the particular plant to produce a codon optimized derivative. Amodified nucleotide sequence may be fully or partially optimized forplant codon usage provided that the protein encoded by the modifiednucleotide sequence is produced at a level higher than the proteinencoded by the corresponding naturally occurring or native gene.Construction of synthetic genes by altering the codon usage is describedin for example PCT Patent Application 93/07278.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the exogenouspolynucleotide is a non-coding RNA.

As used herein the phrase ‘non-coding RNA” refers to an RNA moleculewhich does not encode an amino acid sequence (a polypeptide). Examplesof such non-coding RNA molecules include, but are not limited to, anantisense RNA, a pre-miRNA (precursor of a microRNA), or a precursor ofa Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA).

According to some embodiments of the invention, there is provided aplant cell exogenously expressing the polynucleotide of some embodimentsof the invention, the nucleic acid construct of some embodiments of theinvention and/or the polypeptide of some embodiments of the invention.

According to some embodiments of the invention, expressing the exogenouspolynucleotide of the invention within the plant is effected bytransforming one or more cells of the plant with the exogenouspolynucleotide, followed by generating a mature plant from thetransformed cells and cultivating the mature plant under conditionssuitable for expressing the exogenous polynucleotide within the matureplant.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the transformation iseffected by introducing to the plant cell a nucleic acid construct whichincludes the exogenous polynucleotide of some embodiments of theinvention and at least one promoter for directing transcription of theexogenous polynucleotide in a host cell (a plant cell). Further detailsof suitable transformation approaches are provided hereinbelow.

As mentioned, the nucleic acid construct according to some embodimentsof the invention comprises a promoter sequence and the isolatedpolynucleotide of some embodiments of the invention.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the isolatedpolynucleotide is operably linked to the promoter sequence.

A coding nucleic acid sequence is “operably linked” to a regulatorysequence (e.g., promoter) if the regulatory sequence is capable ofexerting a regulatory effect on the coding sequence linked thereto.

As used herein, the term “promoter” refers to a region of DNA which liesupstream of the transcriptional initiation site of a gene to which RNApolymerase binds to initiate transcription of RNA. The promoter controlswhere (e.g., which portion of a plant) and/or when (e.g., at which stageor condition in the lifetime of an organism) the gene is expressed.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the promoter isheterologous to the isolated polynucleotide and/or to the host cell.

As used herein the phrase “heterologous promoter” refers to a promoterfrom a different species or from the same species but from a differentgene locus as of the isolated polynucleotide sequence.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the isolatedpolynucleotide is heterologous to the plant cell (e.g., thepolynucleotide is derived from a different plant species when comparedto the plant cell, thus the isolated polynucleotide and the plant cellare not from the same plant species).

Any suitable promoter sequence can be used by the nucleic acid constructof the present invention. Preferably the promoter is a constitutivepromoter, a tissue-specific, or an abiotic stress-inducible promoter.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the promoter is a plantpromoter, which is suitable for expression of the exogenouspolynucleotide in a plant cell.

Biol. 21:259-266,1993), maize rab28 gene promoter (Busk et. al., Plant J. 11:1285-1295,1997) and maize Ivr2 gene promoter (Pelleschi et. al., Plant Mol. Biol.39:373-380, 1999); heat-inducible promoters such as heat tomatohsp80-promoter from tomato (U.S. Pat. No. 5,187,267).

The nucleic acid construct of some embodiments of the invention canfurther include an appropriate selectable marker and/or an origin ofreplication. According to some embodiments of the invention, the nucleicacid construct utilized is a shuttle vector, which can propagate both inE. coli (wherein the construct comprises an appropriate selectablemarker and origin of replication) and be compatible with propagation incells. The construct according to the present invention can be, forexample, a plasmid, a bacmid, a phagemid, a cosmid, a phage, a virus oran artificial chromosome.

The nucleic acid construct of some embodiments of the invention can beutilized to stably or transiently transform plant cells. In stabletransformation, the exogenous polynucleotide is integrated into theplant genome and as such it represents a stable and inherited trait. Intransient transformation, the exogenous polynucleotide is expressed bythe cell transformed but it is not integrated into the genome and assuch it represents a transient trait.

There are various methods of introducing foreign genes into bothmonocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants (Potrykus, I., Annu. Rev.Plant. Physiol., Plant. Mol. Biol. (1991) 42:205-225; Shimamoto et al.,Nature (1989) 338:274-276).

The principle methods of causing stable integration of exogenous DNAinto plant genomic DNA include two main approaches:

London, (1985) p.197-209; and Ohta, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1986) 83:715-719.

The Agrobacterium system includes the use of plasmid vectors thatcontain defined DNA segments that integrate into the plant genomic DNA.Methods of inoculation of the plant tissue vary depending upon the plantspecies and the Agrobacterium delivery system. A widely used approach isthe leaf disc procedure which can be performed with any tissue explantthat provides a good source for initiation of whole plantdifferentiation. See, e.g., Horsch et al, in Plant Molecular BiologyManual A5, Kluwer Academic Publishers. Dordrecht (1988) p. 1-9. Asupplementary approach employs the Agrobacterium delivery system incombination with vacuum infiltration. The Agrobacterium system isespecially viable in the creation of transgenic dicotyledonous plants.

There are various methods of direct DNA transfer into plant cells. Inelectroporation, the protoplasts are briefly exposed to a strongelectric field. In microinjection, the DNA is mechanically injecteddirectly into the cells using very small micropipettes. In microparticlebombardment, the DNA is adsorbed on microprojectiles such as magnesiumsulfate crystals or tungsten particles, and the microprojectiles arephysically accelerated into cells or plant tissues.

Following stable transformation plant propagation is exercised. The mostcommon method of plant propagation is by seed. Regeneration by seedpropagation, however, has the deficiency that due to heterozygositythere is a lack of uniformity in the crop, since seeds are produced byplants according to the genetic variances governed by Mendelian rules.Basically, each seed is genetically different and each will grow withits own specific traits. Therefore, it is preferred that the transformedplant be produced such that the regenerated plant has the identicaltraits and characteristics of the parent transgenic plant. Therefore, itis preferred that the transformed plant be regenerated bymicropropagation which provides a rapid, consistent reproduction of thetransformed plants.

Micropropagation is a process of growing new generation plants from asingle piece of tissue that has been excised from a selected parentplant or cultivar. This process permits the mass reproduction of plantshaving the preferred tissue expressing the fusion protein. The newgeneration plants which are produced are genetically identical to, andhave all of the characteristics of, the original plant. Micropropagationallows mass production of quality plant material in a short period oftime and offers a rapid multiplication of selected cultivars in thepreservation of the characteristics of the original transgenic ortransformed plant. The advantages of cloning plants are the speed ofplant multiplication and the quality and uniformity of plants produced.

Micropropagation is a multi-stage procedure that requires alteration ofculture medium or growth conditions between stages. Thus, themicropropagation process involves four basic stages: Stage one, initialtissue culturing; stage two, tissue culture multiplication; stage three,differentiation and plant formation; and stage four, greenhouseculturing and hardening. During stage one, initial tissue culturing, thetissue culture is established and certified contaminant-free. Duringstage two, the initial tissue culture is multiplied until a sufficientnumber of tissue samples are produced from the seedlings to meetproduction goals. During stage three, the tissue samples grown in stagetwo are divided and grown into individual plantlets. At stage four, thetransformed plantlets are transferred to a greenhouse for hardeningwhere the plants' tolerance to light is gradually increased so that itcan be grown in the natural environment.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the transgenic plantsare generated by transient transformation of leaf cells, meristematiccells or the whole plant.

Transient transformation can be effected by any of the direct DNAtransfer methods described above or by viral infection using modifiedplant viruses.

Viruses that have been shown to be useful for the transformation ofplant hosts include CaMV, Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), brome mosaic virus(BMV) and Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BV or BCMV). Transformation ofplants using plant viruses is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,855,237 (beangolden mosaic virus; BGV), EP-A 67,553 (TMV), Japanese PublishedApplication No. 63-14693 (TMV). EPA 194.809 (BV), EPA 278.667 (BV); andGluzman. Y. et al., Communications in Molecular Biology: Viral Vectors.Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. N.Y. pp. 172-189 (1988). Pseudovirusparticles for use in expressing foreign DNA in many hosts, includingplants are described in WO 87/06261.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the virus used fortransient transformations is avirulent and thus is incapable of causingsevere symptoms such as reduced growth rate, mosaic, ring spots, leafroll, yellowing, streaking, pox formation, tumor formation and pitting.A suitable avirulent virus may be a naturally occurring avirulent virusor an artificially attenuated virus. Virus attenuation may be effectedby using methods well known in the art including, but not limited to,sub-lethal heating, chemical treatment or by directed mutagenesistechniques such as described, for example, by Kurihara and Watanabe(Molecular Plant Pathology 4:259-269, 2003). Gal-on et al. (1992).Atreya et al. (1992) and Huet et al. (1994).

Suitable virus strains can be obtained from available sources such as,for example, the American Type culture Collection (ATCC) or by isolationfrom infected plants. Isolation of viruses from infected plant tissuescan be effected by techniques well known in the art such as described,for example by Foster and Taylor, Eds. “Plant Virology Protocols: FromVirus Isolation to Transgenic Resistance (Methods in Molecular Biology(Humana Pr), Vol 81)”, Humana Press, 1998. Briefly, tissues of aninfected plant believed to contain a high concentration of a suitablevirus, preferably young leaves and flower petals, are ground in a buffersolution (e.g., phosphate buffer solution) to produce a virus infectedsap which can be used in subsequent inoculations.

Construction of plant RNA viruses for the introduction and expression ofnon-viral exogenous polynucleotide sequences in plants is demonstratedby the above references as well as by Dawson, W. O. et al., Virology(1989) 172:285-292; Takamatsu et al. EMBO J. (0.1987) 6:307-311: Frenchet al. Science (1986) 231:1294-1297; Takamatsu et al. FEBS Letters(1990) 269:73-76; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,316,931.

When the virus is a DNA virus, suitable modifications can be made to thevirus itself. Alternatively, the virus can first be cloned into abacterial plasmid for ease of constructing the desired viral vector withthe foreign DNA. The virus can then be excised from the plasmid. If thevirus is a DNA virus, a bacterial origin of replication can be attachedto the viral DNA, which is then replicated by the bacteria.Transcription and translation of this DNA will produce the coat proteinwhich will encapsidate the viral DNA. If the virus is an RNA virus, thevirus is generally cloned as a cDNA and inserted into a plasmid. Theplasmid is then used to make all of the constructions. The RNA virus isthen produced by transcribing the viral sequence of the plasmid andtranslation of the viral genes to produce the coat protein(s) whichencapsidate the viral RNA.

In one embodiment, a plant viral polynucleotide is provided in which thenative coat protein coding sequence has been deleted from a viralpolynucleotide, a non-native plant viral coat protein coding sequenceand a non-native promoter, preferably the subgenomic promoter of thenon-native coat protein coding sequence, capable of expression in theplant host, packaging of the recombinant plant viral polynucleotide, andensuring a systemic infection of the host by the recombinant plant viralpolynucleotide, has been inserted. Alternatively, the coat protein genemay be inactivated by insertion of the non-native polynucleotidesequence within it, such that a protein is produced. The recombinantplant viral polynucleotide may contain one or more additional non-nativesubgenomic promoters. Each non-native subgenomic promoter is capable oftranscribing or expressing adjacent genes or polynucleotide sequences inthe plant host and incapable of recombination with each other and withnative subgenomic promoters. Non-native (foreign) polynucleotidesequences may be inserted adjacent the native plant viral subgenomicpromoter or the native and a non-native plant viral subgenomic promotersif more than one polynucleotide sequence is included. The non-nativepolynucleotide sequences are transcribed or expressed in the host plantunder control of the subgenomic promoter to produce the desiredproducts.

In a second embodiment, a recombinant plant viral polynucleotide isprovided as in the first embodiment except that the native coat proteincoding sequence is placed adjacent one of the non-native coat proteinsubgenomic promoters instead of a non-native coat protein codingsequence.

In a third embodiment, a recombinant plant viral polynucleotide isprovided in which the native coat protein gene is adjacent itssubgenomic promoter and one or more non-native subgenomic promoters havebeen inserted into the viral polynucleotide. The inserted non-nativesubgenomic promoters are capable of transcribing or expressing adjacentgenes in a plant host and are incapable of recombination with each otherand with native subgenomic promoters. Non-native polynucleotidesequences may be inserted adjacent the non-native subgenomic plant viralpromoters such that the sequences are transcribed or expressed in thehost plant under control of the subgenomic promoters to produce thedesired product.

In a fourth embodiment, a recombinant plant viral polynucleotide isprovided as in the third embodiment except that the native coat proteincoding sequence is replaced by a non-native coat protein codingsequence.

The viral vectors are encapsidated by the coat proteins encoded by therecombinant plant viral polynucleotide to produce a recombinant plantvirus. The recombinant plant viral polynucleotide or recombinant plantvirus is used to infect appropriate host plants. The recombinant plantviral polynucleotide is capable of replication in the host, systemicspread in the host, and transcription or expression of foreign gene(s)(exogenous polynucleotide) in the host to produce the desired protein.

A.“Applied Plant Virology”, Wiley, New York, 1985; and Kado and Agrawa,eds. “Principles and Techniques in Plant Virology”, VanNostrand-Reinhold, N.Y.

In addition to the above, the polynucleotide of the present inventioncan also be introduced into a chloroplast genome thereby enablingchloroplast expression.

A technique for introducing exogenous polynucleotide sequences to thegenome of the chloroplasts is known. This technique involves thefollowing procedures. First, plant cells are chemically treated so as toreduce the number of chloroplasts per cell to about one. Then, theexogenous polynucleotide is introduced via particle bombardment into thecells with the aim of introducing at least one exogenous polynucleotidemolecule into the chloroplasts. The exogenous polynucleotides selectedsuch that it is integratable into the chloroplast's genome viahomologous recombination which is readily effected by enzymes inherentto the chloroplast. To this end, the exogenous polynucleotide includes,in addition to a gene of interest, at least one polynucleotide stretchwhich is derived from the chloroplast's genome. In addition, theexogenous polynucleotide includes a selectable marker, which serves bysequential selection procedures to ascertain that all or substantiallyall of the copies of the chloroplast genomes following such selectionwill include the exogenous polynucleotide. Further details relating tothis technique are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,945,050; and 5,693,507which are incorporated herein by reference. A polypeptide can thus beproduced by the protein expression system of the chloroplast and becomeintegrated into the chloroplast's inner membrane.

In some embodiments, the plant root stock transgenically expresses apolynucleotide encoding a polypeptide at least about 80%, at least about81%, at least about 82%, at least about 83%, at least about 84%, atleast about 85%, at least about 86%, at least about 87%, at least about88%, at least about 89%, at least about 90%, at least about 91%, atleast about 92%, at least about 93%, at least about 93%, at least about94%, at least about 95%, at least about 96%, at least about 97%, atleast about 98%, at least about 99%. e.g., 100% homologous (oridentical) to the amino acid sequence selected from the group consistingof SEQ ID NOs: 474-643, 645-679, 681-755, 757-760, 4806-6390, 6395-6396,6401-6895, 6897-7249, 7251-7685, 7687-7693, 7695-7700, 7702-7708,7710-7796, 7798-7816, 7818, 7820-7837, 7839-7840, 7842-7861, 7863-8134,8136-8163 and 8164 in a stress responsive manner.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the plant root stocktransgenically expresses a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptideselected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 474-643, 645-760,4806-6390, 6394-6398, 6400-7249, 7251-8134, 8136-8163 and 8164.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the plant root stocktransgenically expresses a polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acidsequence at least about 80%, at least about 81%, at least about 82%, atleast about 83%, at least about 84%, at least about 85%, at least about86%, at least about 87%, at least about 88%, at least about 89%, atleast about 90%, at least about 91%, at least about 92%, at least about93%, at least about 93%, at least about 94%, at least about 95%, atleast about 96%, at least about 97%, at least about 98%, at least about99%, e.g., 100% identical to the polynucleotide selected from the groupconsisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-170, 172-267, 269-424, 426-473.761-2486,2489-2494, 2496-4803 and 4804.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the plant root stocktransgenically expresses a polynucleotide selected from the groupconsisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-473, 761-4804 and 4805.

Since processes which increase yield, growth rate, biomass, vigor, oilcontent, seed yield, fiber yield, fiber quality, fiber length,photosynthetic capacity, nitrogen use efficiency, water use efficiencyand/or abiotic stress tolerance of a plant can involve multiple genesacting additively or in synergy (see, for example, in Quesda et al.,Plant Physiol. 130:951-063, 2002), the present invention also envisagesexpressing a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in a single hostplant to thereby achieve superior effect on nitrogen use efficiency,fertilizer use efficiency, oil content, yield, seed yield, fiber yield,fiber quality, fiber length, photosynthetic capacity, growth rate,biomass, vigor and/or abiotic stress tolerance.

Expressing a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in a single hostplant can be effected by co-introducing multiple nucleic acidconstructs, each including a different exogenous polynucleotide, into asingle plant cell. The transformed cell can then be regenerated into amature plant using the methods described hereinabove.

Alternatively, expressing a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in asingle host plant can be effected by co-introducing into a singleplant-cell a single nucleic-acid construct including a plurality ofdifferent exogenous polynucleotides. Such a construct can be designedwith a single promoter sequence which can transcribe a polycistronicmessenger RNA including all the different exogenous polynucleotidesequences. To enable co-translation of the different polypeptidesencoded by the polycistronic messenger RNA, the polynucleotide sequencescan be inter-linked via an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequencewhich facilitates translation of polynucleotide sequences positioneddownstream of the IRES sequence. In this case, a transcribedpolycistronic RNA molecule encoding the different polypeptides describedabove will be translated from both the capped 5′ end and the twointernal IRES sequences of the polycistronic RNA molecule to therebyproduce in the cell all different polypeptides. Alternatively, theconstruct can include several promoter sequences each linked to adifferent exogenous polynucleotide sequence.

The plant cell transformed with the construct including a plurality ofdifferent exogenous polynucleotides, can be regenerated into a matureplant, using the methods described hereinabove.

Alternatively, expressing a plurality of exogenous polynucleotides in asingle host plant can be effected by introducing different nucleic acidconstructs, including different exogenous polynucleotides, into aplurality of plants. The regenerated transformed plants can then becross-bred and resultant progeny selected for superior abiotic stresstolerance, water use efficiency, fertilizer use efficiency, growth,biomass, yield and/or vigor traits, using conventional plant breedingtechniques.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the method furthercomprising growing the plant expressing the exogenous polynucleotideunder the abiotic stress.

Non-limiting examples of abiotic stress conditions include, salinity,osmotic stress, drought, water deprivation, excess of water (e.g.,flood, waterlogging), etiolation, low temperature (e.g., cold stress),high temperature, heavy metal toxicity, anaerobiosis, nutrientdeficiency (e.g., nitrogen deficiency or nitrogen limitation), nutrientexcess, atmospheric pollution and UV irradiation.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the method furthercomprising growing the plant expressing the exogenous polynucleotideunder fertilizer limiting conditions (e.g., nitrogen-limitingconditions). Non-limiting examples include growing the plant on soilswith low nitrogen content (40-50% Nitrogen of the content present undernormal or optimal conditions), or even under sever nitrogen deficiency(0-10% Nitrogen of the content present under normal or optimalconditions, wherein the normal or optimal conditions include about 6-15mM Nitrogen, e.g., 6-10 mM Nitrogen).

Thus, the invention encompasses plants exogenously expressing thepolynucleotide(s), the nucleic acid constructs and/or polypeptide(s) ofthe invention.

Once expressed within the plant cell or the entire plant, the level ofthe polypeptide encoded by the exogenous polynucleotide can bedetermined by methods well known in the art such as, activity assays.Western blots using antibodies capable of specifically binding thepolypeptide. Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA),radio-immuno-assays (RIA), immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry,immunofluorescence and the like.

Methods of determining the level in the plant of the RNA transcribedfrom the exogenous polynucleotide are well known in the art and include,for example, Northern blot analysis, reverse transcription polymerasechain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis (including quantitative,semi-quantitative or real-time RT-PCR) and RNA—in situ hybridization.

The sequence information and annotations uncovered by the presentteachings can be harnessed in favor of classical breeding. Thus,sub-sequence data of those polynucleotides described above, can be usedas markers for marker assisted selection (MAS), in which a marker isused for indirect selection of a genetic determinant or determinants ofa trait of interest (e.g., biomass, growth rate, oil content, yield,abiotic stress tolerance, water use efficiency, nitrogen use efficiencyand/or fertilizer use efficiency). Nucleic acid data of the presentteachings (DNA or RNA sequence) may contain or be linked to polymorphicsites or genetic markers on the genome such as restriction fragmentlength polymorphism (RFLP), microsatellites and single nucleotidepolymorphism (SNP), DNA fingerprinting (DFP), amplified fragment lengthpolymorphism (AFLP), expression level polymorphism, polymorphism of theencoded polypeptide and any other polymorphism at the DNA or RNAsequence.

Examples of marker assisted selections include, but are not limited to,selection for a morphological trait (e.g., a gene that affects form,coloration, male sterility or resistance such as the presence or absenceof awn, leaf sheath coloration, height, grain color, aroma of rice);selection for a biochemical trait (e.g., a gene that encodes a proteinthat can be extracted and observed; for example, isozymes and storageproteins); selection for a biological trait (e.g., pathogen races orinsect biotypes based on host pathogen or host parasite interaction canbe used as a marker since the genetic constitution of an organism canaffect its susceptibility to pathogens or parasites).

The polynucleotides and polypeptides described hereinabove can be usedin a wide range of economical plants, in a safe and cost effectivemanner.

Plant lines exogenously expressing the polynucleotide or the polypeptideof the invention are screened to identify those that show the greatestincrease of the desired plant trait.

According to some embodiments of the invention the exogenouspolynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:1-473, 761-4804 and 4805.

The effect of the transgene (the exogenous polynucleotide encoding thepolypeptide) on abiotic stress tolerance can be determined using knownmethods such as detailed below and in the Examples section whichfollows.

Abiotic stress tolerance—Transformed (i.e., expressing the transgene)and non-transformed (wild type) plants are exposed to an abiotic stresscondition, such as water deprivation, suboptimal temperature (lowtemperature, high temperature), nutrient deficiency, nutrient excess, asalt stress condition, osmotic stress, heavy metal toxicity,anaerobiosis, atmospheric pollution and UV irradiation.

Salinity tolerance assay—Transgenic plants with tolerance to high saltconcentrations are expected to exhibit better germination, seedlingvigor or growth in high salt. Salt stress can be effected in many wayssuch as, for example, by irrigating the plants with a hyperosmoticsolution, by cultivating the plants hydroponically in a hyperosmoticgrowth solution (e.g., Hoagland solution), or by culturing the plants ina hyperosmotic growth medium [e.g., 50% Murashige-Skoog medium (MSmedium)]. Since different plants vary considerably in their tolerance tosalinity, the salt concentration in the irrigation water, growthsolution, or growth medium can be adjusted according to the specificcharacteristics of the specific plant cultivar or variety, so as toinflict a mild or moderate effect on the physiology and/or morphology ofthe plants (for guidelines as to appropriate concentration see,Bernstein and Kafkafi, Root Growth Under Salinity Stress In: PlantRoots, The Hidden Half 3rd ed. Waisel Y, Eshel A and Kafkafi U,(editors) Marcel Dekker Inc., New York, 2002, and reference therein).

For example, a salinity tolerance test can be performed by irrigatingplants at different developmental stages with increasing concentrationsof sodium chloride (for example 50 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM, 400 mM NaCl)applied from the bottom and from above to ensure even dispersal of salt.Following exposure to the stress condition the plants are frequentlymonitored until substantial physiological and/or morphological effectsappear in wild type plants. Thus, the external phenotypic appearance,degree of wilting and overall success to reach maturity and yieldprogeny are compared between control and transgenic plants.

Quantitative parameters of tolerance measured include, but are notlimited to, the average wet and dry weight, growth rate, leaf size, leafcoverage (overall leaf area), the weight of the seeds yielded, theaverage seed size and the number of seeds produced per plant.Transformed plants not exhibiting substantial physiological and/ormorphological effects, or exhibiting higher biomass than wild-typeplants, are identified as abiotic stress tolerant plants.

Osmotic tolerance test—Osmotic stress assays (including sodium chlorideand mannitol assays) are conducted to determine if an osmotic stressphenotype was sodium chloride-specific or if it was a general osmoticstress related phenotype. Plants which are tolerant to osmotic stressmay have more tolerance to drought and/or freezing. For salt and osmoticstress germination experiments, the medium is supplemented for examplewith 50 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM NaCl or 100 mM, 200 mM NaCl, 400 mM mannitol.

Drought tolerance assay/Osmoticum assay—Tolerance to drought isperformed to identify the genes conferring better plant survival afteracute water deprivation. To analyze whether the transgenic plants aremore tolerant to drought, an osmotic stress produced by the non-ionicosmolyte sorbitol in the medium can be performed. Control and transgenicplants are germinated and grown in plant-agar plates for 4 days, afterwhich they are transferred to plates containing 500 mM sorbitol. Thetreatment causes growth retardation, then both control and transgenicplants are compared, by measuring plant weight (wet and dry), yield, andby growth rates measured as time to flowering.

Conversely, soil-based drought screens are performed with plantsoverexpressing the polynucleotides detailed above. Seeds from controlArabidopsis plants, or other transgenic plants overexpressing thepolypeptide of the invention are germinated and transferred to pots.Drought stress is obtained after irrigation is ceased accompanied byplacing the pots on absorbent paper to enhance the soil-drying rate.Transgenic and control plants are compared to each other when themajority of the control plants develop severe wilting. Plants arere-watered after obtaining a significant fraction of the control plantsdisplaying a severe wilting. Plants are ranked comparing to controls foreach of two criteria: tolerance to the drought conditions and recovery(survival) following re-watering.

Cold stress tolerance—To analyze cold stress, mature (25 day old) plantsare transferred to 4° C. chambers for 1 or 2 weeks, with constitutivelight. Later on plants are moved back to greenhouse. Two weeks laterdamages from chilling period, resulting in growth retardation and otherphenotypes, are compared between both control and transgenic plants, bymeasuring plant weight (wet and dry), and by comparing growth ratesmeasured as time to flowering, plant size, yield, and the like.

Heat stress tolerance—Heat stress tolerance is achieved by exposing theplants to temperatures above 34° C. for a certain period. Planttolerance is examined after transferring the plants back to 22° C. forrecovery and evaluation after 5 days relative to internal controls(non-transgenic plants) or plants not exposed to neither cold or heatstress.

Water use efficiency—can be determined as the biomass produced per unittranspiration. To analyze WUE, leaf relative water content can bemeasured in control and transgenic plants. Fresh weight (FW) isimmediately recorded; then leaves are soaked for 8 hours in distilledwater at room temperature in the dark, and the turgid weight (TW) isrecorded. Total dry weight (DW) is recorded after drying the leaves at60° C. to a constant weight. Relative water content (RWC) is calculatedaccording to the following Formula I:RWC=[(FW−DW)/(TW−DW)]×100  Formula I

Fertilizer use efficiency—To analyze whether the transgenic plants aremore responsive to fertilizers, plants are grown in agar plates or potswith a limited amount of fertilizer, as described, for example, inYanagisawa et al (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2004; 101:7833-8). The plantsare analyzed for their overall size, time to flowering, yield, proteincontent of shoot and/or grain. The parameters checked are the overallsize of the mature plant, its wet and dry weight, the weight of theseeds yielded, the average seed size and the number of seeds producedper plant. Other parameters that may be tested are: the chlorophyllcontent of leaves (as nitrogen plant status and the degree of leafverdure is highly correlated), amino acid and the total protein contentof the seeds or other plant parts such as leaves or shoots, oil content,etc. Similarly, instead of providing nitrogen at limiting amounts,phosphate or potassium can be added at increasing concentrations. Again,the same parameters measured are the same as listed above. In this way,nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), phosphate use efficiency (PUE) andpotassium use efficiency (KUE) are assessed, checking the ability of thetransgenic plants to thrive under nutrient restraining conditions.

Nitrogen use efficiency—To analyze whether the transgenic plants (e.g.,Arabidopsis plants) are more responsive to nitrogen, plant are grown in0.75-3 mM (nitrogen deficient conditions) or 6-10 mM (optimal nitrogenconcentration). Plants are allowed to grow for additional 25 days oruntil seed production. The plants are then analyzed for their overallsize, time to flowering, yield, protein content of shoot and/orgrain/seed production. The parameters checked can be the overall size ofthe plant, wet and dry weight, the weight of the seeds yielded, theaverage seed size and the number of seeds produced per plant. Otherparameters that may be tested are: the chlorophyll content of leaves (asnitrogen plant status and the degree of leaf greenness is highlycorrelated), amino acid and the total protein content of the seeds orother plant parts such as leaves or shoots and oil content. Transformedplants not exhibiting substantial physiological and/or morphologicaleffects, or exhibiting higher measured parameters levels than wild-typeplants, are identified as nitrogen use efficient plants.

Nitrogen Use efficiency assay using plantlets—The assay is doneaccording to Yanagisawa-S. et al. with minor modifications (“Metabolicengineering with Dof1 transcription factor in plants: Improved nitrogenassimilation and growth under low-nitrogen conditions” Proc. Natl. Acad.Sci. USA 101, 7833-7838). Briefly, transgenic plants which are grown for7-10 days in 0.5×MS [Murashige-Skoog] supplemented with a selectionagent are transferred to two nitrogen-limiting conditions: MS media inwhich the combined nitrogen concentration (NH₄NO₃ and KNO₃) was 0.75 mM(nitrogen deficient conditions) or 6-15 mM (optimal nitrogenconcentration). Plants are allowed to grow for additional 30-40 days andthen photographed, individually removed from the Agar (the shoot withoutthe roots) and immediately weighed (fresh weight) for later statisticalanalysis. Constructs for which only T1 seeds are available are sown onselective media and at least 20 seedlings (each one representing anindependent transformation event) are carefully transferred to thenitrogen-limiting media. For constructs for which T2 seeds areavailable, different transformation events are analyzed. Usually, 20randomly selected plants from each event are transferred to thenitrogen-limiting media allowed to grow for 3-4 additional weeks andindividually weighed at the end of that period. Transgenic plants arecompared to control plants grown in parallel under the same conditions.Mock-transgenic plants expressing the uidA reporter gene (GUS) under thesame promoter or transgenic plants carrying the same promoter butlacking a reporter gene are used as control.

Nitrogen determination—The procedure for N (nitrogen) concentrationdetermination in the structural parts of the plants involves thepotassium persulfate digestion method to convert organic N to NO₃(Purcell and King 1996 Argon. J, 88:111-113, the modified Cd⁻ mediatedreduction of NO₃ ⁻ to NO₂ ⁻ (Vodovotz 1996 Biotechniques 20:390-394) andthe measurement of nitrite by the Griess assay (Vodovotz 1996, supra).The absorbance values are measured at 550 nm against a standard curve ofNaNO₂. The procedure is described in details in Samonte et al. 2006Agron. J. 98:168-176.

Germination tests—Germination tests compare the percentage of seeds fromtransgenic plants that could complete the germination process to thepercentage of seeds from control plants that are treated in the samemanner. Normal conditions are considered for example, incubations at 22°C. under 22-hour light 2-hour dark daily cycles. Evaluation ofgermination and seedling vigor is conducted between 4 and 14 days afterplanting. The basal media is 50% MS medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962Plant Physiology 15, 473-497).

Germination is checked also at unfavorable conditions such as cold(incubating at temperatures lower than 10° C. instead of 22° C.) orusing seed inhibition solutions that contain high concentrations of anosmolyte such as sorbitol (at concentrations of 50 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM,300 mM, 500 mM, and up to 1000 mM) or applying increasing concentrationsof salt (of 50 mM, 100 mM, 200 mM, 300 mM, 500 mM NaCl).

The effect of the transgene on plant's vigor, growth rate, biomass,yield and/or oil content can be determined using known methods.

Plant vigor—The plant vigor can be calculated by the increase in growthparameters such as leaf area, fiber length, rosette diameter, plantfresh weight and the like per time.

Growth rate—The growth rate can be measured using digital analysis ofgrowing plants. For example, images of plants growing in greenhouse onplot basis can be captured every 3 days and the rosette area can becalculated by digital analysis. Rosette area growth is calculated usingthe difference of rosette area between days of sampling divided by thedifference in days between samples.

Evaluation of growth rate can be done by measuring plant biomassproduced, rosette area, leaf size or root length per time (can bemeasured in cm² per day of leaf area).

Relative growth area can be calculated using Formula II.Relative growth rate area=Regression coefficient of area along timecourse.  Formula II:

Thus, the relative growth area rate is in units of area units (e.g.,mm²/day or cm²/day) and the relative length growth rate is in units oflength units (e.g., cm/day or mm/day).

For example, RGR can be determined for plant height (Formula III), SPAD(Formula IV), Number of tillers (Formula V), root length (Formula VI),vegetative growth (Formula VII), leaf number (Formula VIII), rosettearea (Formula IX), rosette diameter (Formula X), plot coverage (FormulaXI), leaf blade area (Formula XII), and leaf area (Formula XIII).Relative growth rate of Plant height=Regression coefficient of Plantheight along time course (measured in cm/day).  Formula III:Relative growth rate of SPAD=Regression coefficient of SPAD measurementsalong time course.  Formula IV:Relative growth rate of Number of tillers=Regression coefficient ofNumber of tillers along time course (measured in units of “number oftillers/day”).  Formula V:Relative growth rate of root length=Regression coefficient of rootlength along time course (measured in cm per day).  Formula VI:

Vegetative growth rate analysis—was calculated according to Formula VIIbelow.Relative growth rate of vegetative growth=Regression coefficient ofvegetative dry weight along time course (measured in grams perday).  Formula VII:Relative growth rate of leaf number=Regression coefficient of leafnumber along time course (measured in number per day).  Formula VIII:Relative growth rate of rosette area=Regression coefficient of rosettearea along time course (measured in cm² per day).  Formula IX:Relative growth rate of rosette diameter=Regression coefficient ofrosette diameter along time course (measured in cm per day).  Formula X:Relative growth rate of plot coverage=Regression coefficient of plot(measured in cm² per day).  Formula XI:Relative growth rate of leaf blade area=Regression coefficient of leafarea along time course (measured in cm² per day).  Formula XII:Relative growth rate of leaf area=Regression coefficient of leaf areaalong time course (measured in cm² per day).  Formula XIII:1000 Seed Weight=number of seed in sample/sample weight×1000  FormulaXIV:

The Harvest Index can be calculated using Formulas XV, XVI, XVII, XVIIIand LXV below.Harvest Index (seed)=Average seed yield per plant/Average dryweight.  Formula XV:Harvest Index (Sorghum)=Average grain dry weight per Head/(Averagevegetative dry weight per Head+Average Head dry weight)  Formula XVI:Harvest Index (Maize)=Average grain weight per plant/(Average vegetativedry weight per plant plus Average grain weight per plant)  Formula XVII:

Grain protein concentration—Grain protein content (g grain protein m⁻²)is estimated as the product of the mass of grain N (g grain N m²)multiplied by the N/protein conversion ratio of k−5.13 (Mosse 1990,supra). The grain protein concentration is estimated as the ratio ofgrain protein content per unit mass of the grain (g grain protein kg⁻¹grain).

Fiber length—Fiber length can be measured using fibrograph. Thefibrograph system was used to compute length in terms of “Upper HalfMean” length. The upper half mean (UHM) is the average length of longerhalf of the fiber distribution. The fibrograph measures length in spanlengths at a given percentage point (cottoninc (dot)com/ClassificationofCotton/?Pg=4 #Length).

Anincrease in yield may also result in modified architecture, or may occurbecause of modified architecture.

Oil content—The oil content of a plant can be determined by extractionof the oil from the seed or the vegetative portion of the plant.Briefly, lipids (oil) can be removed from the plant (e.g., seed) bygrinding the plant tissue in the presence of specific solvents (e.g.,hexane or petroleum ether) and extracting the oil in a continuousextractor. Indirect oil content analysis can be carried out usingvarious known methods such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)Spectroscopy, which measures the resonance energy absorbed by hydrogenatoms in the liquid state of the sample [See for example, Conway T F,and Earle F R., 1963, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society;Springer Berlin/Heidelberg. ISSN: 0003-021X (Print) 1558-9331 (Online)];the Near Infrared (NI) Spectroscopy, which utilizes the absorption ofnear infrared energy (0.1100-2500 nm) by the sample; and a methoddescribed in WO/2001/023884, which is based on extracting oil a solvent,evaporating the solvent in a gas stream which forms oil particles, anddirecting a light into the gas stream and oil particles which forms adetectable reflected light.

General Experimental and Bioinformatics Methods

RNA extraction—Tissues growing at various growth conditions (asdescribed below) were sampled and RNA was extracted using TRIzol Reagentfrom Invitrogen [invitrogen (dot) com/content (dot)cfm?pageid=469].Approximately 30-50 mg of tissue was taken from samples. The weighedtissues were ground using pestle and mortar in liquid nitrogen andresuspended in 500 W of TRIzol Reagent. To the homogenized lysate, 100μl of chloroform was added followed by precipitation using isopropanoland two washes with 75% ethanol. The RNA was eluted in 30 μl ofRNase-free water. RNA samples were cleaned up using Qiagen's RNeasyminikit clean-up protocol as per the manufacturer's protocol (QIAGENInc, Calif. USA). For convenience, each micro-array expressioninformation tissue type has received an expression Set ID.

Correlation analysis—was performed for selected genes according to someembodiments of the invention, in which the characterized parameters(measured parameters according to the correlation IDs) were used as “xaxis” for correlation with the tissue transcriptome, which was used asthe “Y axis”. For each gene and measured parameter a correlationcoefficient “R” was calculated (using Pearson correlation) along with ap-value for the significance of the correlation. When the correlationcoefficient (R) between the levels of a gene's expression in a certaintissue and a phenotypic performance across ecotypes/variety/hybrid ishigh in absolute value (between 0.5-1), there is an association betweenthe gene (specifically the expression level of this gene) the phenotypiccharacteristic (e.g., improved yield, growth rate, nitrogen useefficiency, abiotic stress tolerance and the like).

Example 1 Identifying Genes which Improve Yield and AgronomicalImportant Traits in Plants

The present inventors have identified polynucleotides which expressionthereof in plants can increase yield, fiber yield, fiber quality,photosynthetic capacity, growth rate, vigor, biomass, oil content,abiotic stress tolerance (ABST), fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) such asnitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and water use efficiency (WUE) of aplant, as follows.

All nucleotide sequence datasets used here were originated from publiclyavailable databases or from performing sequencing using the Solexatechnology (e.g. Barley and Sorghum). Sequence data from 100 differentplant species was introduced into a single, comprehensive database.Other information on gene expression, protein annotation, enzymes andpathways were also incorporated.

Database Assembly—was performed to build a wide, rich, reliableannotated and easy to analyze database comprised of publicly availablegenomic mRNA. ESTs DNA sequences, data from various crops as well asgene expression, protein annotation and pathway data QTLs. and otherrelevant information.

Database assembly is comprised of a toolbox of gene refining,structuring, annotation and analysis tools enabling to construct atailored database for each gene discovery project. Gene refining andstructuring tools enable to reliably detect splice variants andantisense transcripts, generating understanding of various potentialphenotypic outcomes of a single gene. The capabilities of the “LEADS”platform of Compugen LTD for analyzing human genome have been confirmedand accepted by the scientific community [see e.g., “WidespreadAntisense Transcription”, Yelin, et al. (2003) Nature Biotechnology 21,379-85; “Splicing of Alu Sequences”, Lev-Maor, et al. (2003) Science 300(5623), 1288-91; “Computational analysis of alternative splicing usingEST tissue information”, Xie H et al. Genomics 2002], and have beenproven most efficient in plant genomics as well.

EST clustering and gene assembly—For gene clustering and assembly oforganisms with available genome sequence data (arabidopsis, rice,castorbean, grape, brachypodium, poplar, soybean, sorghum) the genomicLEADS version (GANG) was employed. This tool allows most accurateclustering of ESTs and mRNA sequences on genome, and predicts genestructure as well as alternative splicing events and anti-sensetranscription.

For organisms with no available full genome sequence data, “expressedLEADS” clustering software was applied.

Gene annotation—Predicted genes and proteins were annotated as follows:

Blast search [blast (dot) ncbi (dot) nlm (dot) nih (dot) gov/Blast (dot)cgi] against all plant UniProt [uniprot (dot) org/] sequences wasperformed. Open reading frames of each putative transcript were analyzedand longest ORF with higher number of homologues was selected aspredicted protein of the transcript. The predicted proteins wereanalyzed by InterPro [ebi (dot) ac (dot) uk/interpro/].

Blast against proteins from AraCyc and ENZYME databases was used to mapthe predicted transcripts to AraCyc pathways.

Predicted proteins from different species were compared using blastalgorithm [ncbi (dot) nlm (dot) nih (dot) gov/Blast (dot) cgi] tovalidate the accuracy of the predicted protein sequence, and forefficient detection of orthologs.

Gene expression profiling—Several data sources were exploited for geneexpression profiling, namely microarray data and digital expressionprofile (see below). According to gene expression profile, a correlationanalysis was performed to identify genes which are co-regulated underdifferent development stages and environmental conditions and associatedwith different phenotypes.

Publicly available microarray datasets were downloaded from TAIR andNCBI GEO sites, renormalized, and integrated into the database.Expression profiling is one of the most important resource data foridentifying genes important for yield.

A digital expression profile summary was compiled for each clusteraccording to all keywords included in the sequence records comprisingthe cluster. Digital expression, also known as electronic Northern Blot,is a tool that displays virtual expression profile based on the ESTsequences forming the gene cluster. The tool provides the expressionprofile of a cluster in terms of plant anatomy (e.g., the tissue/organin which the gene is expressed), developmental stage (the developmentalstages at which a gene can be found) and profile of treatment (providesthe physiological conditions under which a gene is expressed such asdrought, cold, pathogen infection, etc). Given a random distribution ofESTs in the different clusters, the digital expression provides aprobability value that describes the probability of a cluster having atotal of N ESTs to contain X ESTs from a certain collection oflibraries. For the probability calculations, the following is taken intoconsideration: a) the number of ESTs in the cluster, b) the number ofESTs of the implicated and related libraries, c) the overall number ofESTs available representing the species. Thereby clusters with lowprobability values are highly enriched with ESTs from the group oflibraries of interest indicating a specialized expression.

Recently, the accuracy of this system was demonstrated by Portnoy etal., 2009 (Analysis Of The Melon Fruit Transcriptome Based On 454Pyrosequencing) in: Plant & Animal Genomes XVII Conference, San Diego,Calif. Transcriptomeic analysis, based on relative EST abundance in datawas performed by 454 pyrosequencing of cDNA representing mRNA of themelon fruit. Fourteen double strand cDNA samples obtained from twogenotypes, two fruit tissues (flesh and rind) and four developmentalstages were sequenced. GS FLX pyrosequencing (Roche/454 Life Sciences)of non-normalized and purified cDNA samples yielded 1,150,657 expressedsequence tags, that assembled into 67,477 unigenes (32,357 singletonsand 35,120 contigs). Analysis of the data obtained against the CucurbitGenomics Database [icugi (dot) org/J confirmed the accuracy of thesequencing and assembly. Expression patterns of selected genes fittedwell their qRT-PCR data.

Overall, 220 genes (SEQ ID NOs: 1-473 for polynucleotides and SEQ IDNOs: 474-760 for polypeptides) were identified to have a major impact onplant yield, growth rate, photosynthetic capacity, vigor, biomass,growth rate, oil content, abiotic stress tolerance, nitrogen useefficiency, water use efficiency and fertilizer use efficiency whenexpression thereof is increased in plants (e.g., in plantsover-expressing the polynucleotides/polypeptides). The identified genes,their curated polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences, as well as theirupdated sequences according to GenBank database are summarized in Table1, hereinbelow.

Example 2 Identification of Homologous Sequences that Increase Yield,Fiber Yield, Fiber Quality, Growth Rate, Biomass, PhotosyntheticCapacity Oil Content, Vigor, ABST, and/or NUE of a Plant

The concepts of orthology and paralogy have recently been applied tofunctional characterizations and classifications on the scale ofwhole-genome comparisons. Orthologs and paralogs constitute two majortypes of homologs: The first evolved from a common ancestor byspecialization, and the latter are related by duplication events. It isassumed that paralogs arising from ancient duplication events are likelyto have diverged in function while true orthologs are more likely toretain identical function over evolutionary time.

To further investigate and identify putative orthologs of the genesaffecting plant yield, oil yield, oil content, seed yield, growth rate,photosynthetic capacity, vigor, biomass, abiotic stress tolerance, andfertilizer use efficiency (FUE) genes and/or nitrogen use efficiency,all sequences were aligned using the BLAST (Basic Local Alignment SearchTool). Sequences sufficiently similar were tentatively grouped. Theseputative orthologs were further organized under a Phylogram—a branchingdiagram (tree) assumed to be a representation of the evolutionaryrelationships among the biological taxa. Putative ortholog groups wereanalyzed as to their agreement with the phylogram and in cases ofdisagreements these ortholog groups were broken accordingly.

Expression data was analyzed and the EST libraries were classified usinga fixed vocabulary of custom terms such as developmental stages (e.g.,genes showing similar expression profile through development with upregulation at specific stage, such as at the seed filling stage) and/orplant organ (e.g., genes showing similar expression profile across theirorgans with up regulation at specific organs such as seed). Theannotations from all the ESTs clustered to a gene were analyzedstatistically by comparing their frequency in the cluster versus theirabundance in the database, allowing the construction of a numeric andgraphic expression profile of that gene, which is termed “digitalexpression”. The rationale of using these two complementary methods withmethods of phenotypic association studies of QTLs, SNPs and phenotypeexpression correlation is based on the assumption that true orthologsare likely to retain identical function over evolutionary time. Thesemethods provide different sets of indications on function similaritiesbetween two homologous genes, similarities in the sequence level-identical amino acids in the protein domains and similarity inexpression profiles.

The search and identification of homologous genes involves the screeningof sequence information available, for example, in public databases suchas the DNA Database of Japan (DDBJ). Genbank, and the European MolecularBiology Laboratory Nucleic Acid Sequence Database (EMBL) or versionsthereof or the MIPS database. A number of different search algorithmshave been developed, including but not limited to the suite of programsreferred to as BLAST programs. There are five implementations of BLAST,three designed for nucleotide sequence queries (BLASTN, BLASTX, andTBLASTX) and two designed for protein sequence queries (BLASTP andTBLASTN) (Coulson. Trends in Biotechnology: 76-80, 1994; Birren et al.,Genome Analysis. I: 543, 1997). Such methods involve alignment andcomparison of sequences. The BLAST algorithm calculates percent sequenceidentity and performs a statistical analysis of the similarity betweenthe two sequences. The software for performing BLAST analysis ispublicly available through the National Centre for BiotechnologyInformation. Other such software or algorithms are GAP, BESTFIT, FASTAand TFASTA. GAP uses the algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (J. Mol.Biol. 48: 443-453, 1970) to find the alignment of two complete sequencesthat maximizes the number of matches and minimizes the number of gaps.

The homologous genes may belong to the same gene family. The analysis ofa gene family may be carried out using sequence similarity analysis. Toperform this analysis one may use standard programs for multiplealignments e.g. Clustal W. A neighbour-joining tree of the proteinshomologous to the genes in this invention may be used to provide anoverview of structural and ancestral relationships. Sequence identitymay be calculated using an alignment program as described above. It isexpected that other plants will carry a similar functional gene(ortholog) or a family of similar genes and those genes will provide thesame preferred phenotype as the genes presented here. Advantageously,these family members may be useful in the methods of the invention.Example of other plants are included here but not limited to, barley(Hordeum vulgare), Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), maize (Zea mays),cotton (Gossypium), Oilseed rape (Brassica napus), Rice (Oryza sativa),Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum), Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), Soybean(Glycine max), Sunflower (Helianthus annuus), Tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum), Wheat (Triticum aestivum).

The above-mentioned analyses for sequence homology can be carried out ona full-length sequence, but may also be based on a comparison of certainregions such as conserved domains. The identification of such domains,would also be well within the realm of the person skilled in the art andwould involve, for example, a computer readable format of the nucleicacids of the present invention, the use of alignment software programsand the use of publicly available information on protein domains,conserved motifs and boxes. This information is available in the PRODOM(biochem (dot) ucl (dot) ac (dot) uk/bsm/dbbrowser/protocol/prodomqry(dot) html), PIR (pir (dot) Georgetown (dot) edu/) or Pfam (sanger (dot)ac (dot) uk/Software/Pfam) database. Sequence analysis programs designedfor motif searching may be used for identification of fragments, regionsand conserved domains as mentioned above. Preferred computer programsinclude, but are not limited to, MEME, SIGNALSCAN, and GENESCAN.

A person skilled in the art may use the homologous sequences providedherein to find similar sequences in other species and other organisms.Homologues of a protein encompass, peptides, oligopeptides,polypeptides, proteins and enzymes having amino acid substitutions,deletions and/or insertions relative to the unmodified protein inquestion and having similar biological and functional activity as theunmodified protein from which they are derived. To produce suchhomologues, amino acids of the protein may be replaced by other aminoacids having similar properties (conservative changes, such as similarhydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, antigenicity, propensity to form orbreak a-helical structures or 3-sheet structures). Conservativesubstitution tables are well known in the art (see for example Creighton(1984) Proteins. W. H. Freeman and Company). Homologues of a nucleicacid encompass nucleic acids having nucleotide substitutions, deletionsand/or insertions relative to the unmodified nucleic acid in questionand having similar biological and functional activity as the unmodifiednucleic acid from which they are derived.

Polynucleotides and polypeptides with significant homology to theidentified genes described in Table 1 (Example 1 above) were identifiedfrom the databases using BLAST software with the Blastp and tBlastnalgorithms as filters for the first stage, and the needle (EMBOSSpackage) or Frame+algorithm alignment for the second stage. Localidentity (Blast alignments) was defined with a very permissivecutoff—60% Identity on a span of 60% of the sequences lengths because itis used only as a filter for the global alignment stage. The defaultfiltering of the Blast package was not utilized (by setting theparameter “−F F”).

In the second stage, homologues were defined based on a global identityof at least 80% to the core gene polypeptide sequence.

Two distinct forms for finding the optimal global alignment for proteinor nucleotide sequences were used in this application:

1. Between two proteins (following the blastp filter):

EMBOSS-6.0.1 Needleman-Wunsch algorithm with the following modifiedparameters: gapopen=8 gapextend=2. The rest of the parameters wereunchanged from the default options described hereinabove.

2. Between a protein sequence and a nucleotide sequence (following thetblastn filter):

GenCore 6.0 OneModel application utilizing the Frame+algorithm with thefollowing parameters: model=frame+_p2n.model mode=qglobal-q=protein.sequence -db=nucleotide.sequence. The rest of the parametersare unchanged from the default options described hereinabove.

The query polypeptide sequences were SEQ ID NOs: 474-760 (which areencoded by the polynucleotides SEQ ID NOs:1-473, shown in Table 1 above)and the identified orthologous and homologous sequences having at least80% global sequence identity are provided in Table 2, below. Thesehomologous genes am expected to increase plant yield, harvest index,seed yield, oil yield, oil content, photosynthetic capacity, growthrate, fiber yield, fiber quality, biomass, vigor, ABST and/or NUE of aplant.

The output of the functional genomics approach described herein is a setof genes highly predicted to improve yield and/or other agronomicimportant traits such as growth rate, harvest index, leaf area, vigor,oil content, fiber yield and/or quality, biomass, photosyntheticcapacity, growth rate, abiotic stress tolerance, nitrogen useefficiency, water use efficiency and fertilizer use efficiency of aplant by increasing their expression. Although each gene is predicted tohave its own impact, modifying the mode of expression of more than onegene is expected to provide an additive or synergistic effect on theplant yield and/or other agronomic important yields performance.Altering the expression of each gene described here alone or set ofgenes together increases the overall yield and/or other agronomicimportant traits, hence expects to increase agricultural productivity.

Example 3 Production of Barley Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 44K Barley Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis, the presentinventors utilized a Barley oligonucleotide micro-array, produced byAgilent Technologies [chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 47,500Barley genes and transcripts. In order to define correlations betweenthe levels of RNA expression and yield or vigor related parameters,various plant characteristics of 25 different Barley accessions wereanalyzed. Among them, 13 accessions encompassing the observed variancewere selected for RNA expression analysis. The correlation between theRNA levels and the characterized parameters was analyzed using Pearsoncorrelation test [davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot) html].

Experimental Procedures

Four tissues at different developmental stages [meristem, floweringspike, booting spike, stem], representing different plantcharacteristics, were sampled and RNA was extracted as describedhereinabove under “GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL AND BIOINFORMATICS METHODS”.

For convenience, each micro-array expression information tissue type hasreceived a Set ID as summarized in Table 3 below.

Barley yield components and vigor related parameters assessment—13Barley accessions in 4 repetitive blocks (named A, B, C, and D), eachcontaining 4 plants per plot were grown at net house. Plants werephenotyped on a daily basis following the standard descriptor of barley(Table 4, below). Harvest was conducted while 50% of the spikes were dryto avoid spontaneous release of the seeds. Plants were separated to thevegetative part and spikes, of them, 5 spikes were threshed (grains wereseparated from the glumes) for additional grain analysis such as sizemeasurement, grain count per spike and grain yield per spike. Allmaterial was oven dried and the seeds were threshed manually from thespikes prior to measurement of the seed characteristics (weight andsize) using scanning and image analysis. The image analysis systemincluded a personal desktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and apublic domain program—ImageJ 1.37 (Java based image processing program,which was developed at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and freelyavailable on the internet [rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/]. Next, analyzeddata was saved to text files and processed using the JMP statisticalanalysis software (SAS institute).

(ii) Grain average size (cm)—The total grains from 5 spikes that weremanually shed were scanned and images were analyzed using the digitalimaging system. Grain scanning was done using Brother scanner (modelDCP-135), at the 200 dpi resolution and analyzed with Image J software.The average grain size was calculated by dividing the total grain sizeby the total grain number.

(iii) Grain average weight (mgr)—The total grains from 5 spikes thatwere manually threshed were counted and weight. The average weight wascalculated by dividing the total weight by the total grain number.

(iv) Grain yield per spike (gr) (=seed yield of 5 spikes)—The totalgrains from 5 spikes that were manually threshed were weight. The grainyield was calculated by dividing the total weight by the spike number.

(v) Spike length analysis—The five chosen spikes per plant were measuredusing measuring tape excluding the awns.

(vi) Spike number analysis—The spikes per plant were counted.

Additional parameters were measured as follows:

Growth habit scoring—At growth stage 10 (booting), each of the plantswas scored for its growth habit nature. The scale that was used was 1for prostate nature till 9 for erect.

Hairiness of basal leaves—At growth stage 5 (leaf sheath strongly erect;end of tillering), each of the plants was scored for its hairinessnature of the leaf before the last. The scale that was used was 1 forprostate nature till 9 for erect.

Plant height—At harvest stage (50% of spikes were dry), each of theplants was measured for its height using measuring tape. Height wasmeasured from ground level to top of the longest spike excluding awns.

I. Correlation of Sorghum Varieties Across Ecotypes Grown Under RegularGrowth Conditions, Severe Drought Conditions and Low Nitrogen Conditions

Experimental Procedures

17 Sorghum varieties were grown in 3 repetitive plots, in field.Briefly, the growing protocol was as follows:

1. Regular (normal, non-stress) growth conditions: sorghum plants weregrown in the field using commercial fertilization and irrigationprotocols (0.370 liter per meter², fertilization of 14 units of 21% ureaper entire growth period).

2. Drought conditions: sorghum seeds were sown in soil and grown undernormal (non-stress) conditions until around 35 days from sowing, aroundstage V8 (eight green leaves are fully expanded, booting not startedyet). At this point, irrigation was stopped, and severe drought stresswas developed.

3. Low Nitrogen fertilization conditions: sorghum plants were fertilizedwith 50% less amount of nitrogen in the field than the amount ofnitrogen applied in the regular growth treatment. All the fertilizer wasapplied before flowering.

Analyzed Sorghum tissues—All 10 selected Sorghum hybrids were sampledper each treatment. Tissues [Flag leaf. Flower meristem and Flower] fromplants growing under normal conditions, severe drought stress and lownitrogen conditions were sampled and RNA was extracted as describedabove. Each micro-array expression information tissue type has receiveda Set ID as summarized in Table 9 below.

Flag leaf = the leaf below the flower;Flower meristem = Apical meristem following panicle initiation; Flower =the flower at the anthesis day. Expression sets 1, 2 and 3 are fromplants grown under normal conditions. Expression set 4 derived fromplants grown under drought conditions.The following parameters were collected using digital imaging system:

At the end of the growing period the grains were separated from theplant ‘Head’ and the following parameters were measured and collected:

Average Grain Area (cm²)—A sample of ˜200 grains were weighted,photographed and images were processed using the below described imageprocessing system. The grain area was measured from those images and wasdivided by the number of grains.

Upper and Lower Ratio Average of Grain Area, width, diameter andperimeter—Grain projection of area, width, diameter and perimeter wereextracted from the digital images using open source package imagej(nih). Seed data was analyzed in plot average levels as follows:

Average of all seeds;

Average of upper 20% fraction—contained upper 20% fraction of seeds;

Average of lower 20% fraction—contained lower 20% fraction of seeds;

Further on, ratio between each fraction and the plot average wascalculated for each of the data parameters.

At the end of the growing period 5 ‘Heads’ were, photographed and imageswere processed using the below described image processing system.

(i) Head Average Area (cm²)—At the end of the growing period 5 ‘Heads’were, photographed and images were processed using the below describedimage processing system. The ‘Head’ area was measured from those imagesand was divided by the number of ‘Heads’.

(ii) Head Average Length (cm)—At the end of the growing period 5 ‘Heads’were, photographed and images were processed using the below describedimage processing system. The ‘Head’ length (longest axis) was measuredfrom those images and was divided by the number of ‘Heads’.

(i) Head Average width (cm)—At the end of the growing period 5 ‘Heads’were, photographed and images were processed using the below describedimage processing system. The ‘Head’ width was measured from those imagesand was divided by the number of ‘Heads’.

(iv) Head Average perimeter (cm)—At the end of the growing period 5‘Heads’ were, photographed and images were processed using the belowdescribed image processing system. The ‘Head’ perimeter was measuredfrom those images and was divided by the number of ‘Heads’.

The image processing system was used, which consists of a personaldesktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domainprogram—ImageJ 1.37, Java based image processing software, which wasdeveloped at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and is freelyavailable on the internet at rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/. Images werecaptured in resolution of 10 Mega Pixels (3888×2592 pixels) and storedin a low compression JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group standard)format. Next, image processing output data for seed area and seed lengthwas saved to text files and analyzed using the JMP statistical analysissoftware (SAS institute).

Additional parameters were collected either by sampling 5 plants perplot or by measuring the parameter across all the plants within theplot.

Total Grain Weight/Head (gr.) (grain yield)—At the end of the experiment(plant ‘Heads’) heads from plots within blocks A-C were collected. 5heads were separately threshed and grains were weighted, all additionalheads were threshed together and weighted as well. The average grainweight per head was calculated by dividing the total grain weight bynumber of total heads per plot (based on plot). In case of 5 heads, thetotal grains weight of 5 heads was divided by 5.

FW Head/Plant gram—At the end of the experiment (when heads wereharvested) total and 5 selected heads per plots within blocks A-C werecollected separately. The heads (total and 5) were weighted (gr.)separately and the average fresh weight per plant was calculated fortotal (FW Head/Plant gr, based on plot) and for 5 (FW Head/Plant gr,based on 5 plants).

Plant height—Plants were characterized for height during growing periodat 5 time points. In each measure, plants were measured for their heightusing a measuring tape. Height was measured from ground level to top ofthe longest leaf.

SPAD—Chlorophyll content was determined using a Minolta SPAD 502chlorophyll meter and measurement was performed 64 days post sowing.SPAD meter readings were done on young fully developed leaf. Threemeasurements per leaf were taken per plot.

Vegetative fresh weight and Heads—At the end of the experiment (whenInflorescence were dry) all Inflorescence and vegetative material fromplots within blocks A-C were collected. The biomass and Heads weight ofeach plot was separated, measured and divided by the number of Heads.

Plant biomass (Fresh weight)—At the end of the experiment (whenInflorescence were dry) the vegetative material from plots within blocksA-C were collected. The plants biomass without the Inflorescence weremeasured and divided by the number of Plants.

FW Heads/(FW Heads+FW Plants)—The total fresh weight of heads and theirrespective plant biomass were measured at the harvest day. The headsweight was divided by the sum of weights of heads and plants.

Experimental Results

17 different sorghum varieties were grown and characterized fordifferent parameters: The average for each of the measured parameter wascalculated using the JMP software (Tables 11-12) and subsequentcorrelation analysis between the various transcriptome sets (Table 9)and the average parameters, was conducted (Table 13). Results were thenintegrated to the database.

II. Correlation of Sorghum Varieties Across Ecotype Grown Under SalinityStress and Cold Stress Conditions

Sorghum vigor related parameters under 100 mM NaCl and low temperature(10±2° C.)—Ten Sorghum varieties were grown in 3 repetitive plots, eachcontaining 17 plants, at a net house under semi-hydroponics conditions.Briefly, the growing protocol was as follows: Sorghum seeds were sown intrays filled with a mix of vermiculite and peat in a 1:1 ratio.Following germination, the trays were transferred to the high salinitysolution (100 mM NaCl in addition to the Full Hogland solution), lowtemperature (10±2° C. in the presence of Full Hogland solution) or atNormal growth solution [Full Hogland solution at 28±2° C.].

Full Hogland solution consists of: KNO₃-0.808 grams/liter. MgSO₄—0.12grams/liter, KH₂PO₄—0.172 grams/liter and 0.01% (volume/volume) of‘Super coratin’ micro elements (Iron-EDDHA[ethylenediamine-N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyphenylacetic 20 acid)]—40.5grams/liter; Mn—20.2 grams/liter; Zn 10.1 grams/liter; Co 1.5grams/liter; and Mo 1.1 grams/liter), solution's pH should be 6.5-6.8].

All 10 selected Sorghum varieties were sampled per each treatment. Twotissues [leaves and roots] growing at 100 mM NaCl, low temperature(10±2° C.) or under Normal conditions (full Hogland at a temperaturebetween 28±2° C.) were sampled and RNA was extracted as describedhereinabove under “GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL AND BIOINFORMATICS METHODS”.

Experimental Results

10 different Sorghum varieties were grown and characterized for thefollowing parameters: “Leaf number Normal”=leaf number per plant undernormal conditions (average of five plants); “Plant Height Normal”=plantheight under normal conditions (average of five plants); “Root DW 100 mMNaCl”—root dry weight per plant under salinity conditions (average offive plants); The average for each of the measured parameter wascalculated using the JMP software and values are summarized in Table 16below. Subsequent correlation analysis between the various transcriptomesets and the average parameters were conducted (Table 17). Results werethen integrated to the database.

Example 5 Production of Maize Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 60K Maize Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

To produce a high throughput correlation analysis, the present inventorsutilized a Maize oligonucleotide micro-array, produced by AgilentTechnologies [(chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 60K Maizegenes and transcripts designed based on data from Public databases(Example 1). To define correlations between the levels of RNA expressionand yield, biomass components or vigor related parameters, various plantcharacteristics of 12 different Maize hybrids were analyzed. Among them,10 hybrids encompassing the observed variance were selected for RNAexpression analysis. The correlation between the RNA levels and thecharacterized parameters was analyzed using Pearson correlation test[davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot) html].

Experimental Procedures

Five tissues at different developmental stages including Ear (flowering−R1), leaf (flowering −R1), Leaf Grain from the basal ear part, Grainfrom the distal ear, representing different plant characteristics, weresampled and RNA was extracted as described in “GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL ANDBIOINFORMATICS METHODS”. For convenience, each micro-array expressioninformation tissue type has received a Set ID as summarized in Table 18below.

The following parameters werecollected:

Grain Area (cm²)—At the end of the growing period the grains wereseparated from the ear. A sample of ˜200 grains were weight,photographed and images were processed using the below described imageprocessing system. The grain area was measured from those images and wasdivided by the number of grains.

Grain Length and Grain width (cm)—At the end of the growing period thegrains were separated from the ear. A sample of ˜200 grains wereweighted, photographed and images were processed using the belowdescribed image processing system. The sum of grain lengths/or width(longest axis) was measured from those images and was divided by thenumber of grains.

Ear Area (cm²)—At the end of the growing period 6 ears were,photographed and images were processed using the below described imageprocessing system. The Ear area was measured from those images and wasdivided by the number of Ears.

Ear Length and Ear Width (cm)—At the end of the growing period 6 earswere photographed and images were processed using the below describedimage processing system. The Ear length and width (longest axis) wasmeasured from those images and was divided by the number of ears.

Filled per Whole Ear—it was calculated as the length of the ear withgrains out of the total ear.

Percent Filled Ear—At the end of the growing period 6 ears werephotographed and images were processed using the below described imageprocessing system. The percent filled Ear grain was the ear with grainsout of the total ear and was measured from those images and was dividedby the number of Ears.

The image processing system was used, which consists of a personaldesktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domainprogram—ImageJ 1.37, Java based image processing software, which wasdeveloped at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and is freelyavailable on the internet at rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/. Images werecaptured in resolution of 10 Mega Pixels (3888×2592 pixels) and storedin a low compression JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group standard)format. Next, image processing output data for seed area and seed lengthwas saved to text files and analyzed using the JMP statistical analysissoftware (SAS institute).

Additional parameters were collected either by sampling 6 plants perplot or by measuring the parameter across all the plants within theplot.

Normalized Grain Weight per plant (gr.)(yield)—At the end of theexperiment all ears from plots within blocks A-C were collected. 6 earswere separately threshed and grains were weighted, all additional earswere threshed together and weighted as well. The grain weight wasnormalized using the relative humidity to be 0%. The normalized averagegrain weight per ear was calculated by dividing the total normalizedgrain weight by the total number of ears per plot (based on plot). Incase of 6 ears, the total grains weight of 6 ears was divided by 6.

Ear FW (gr.)—At the end of the experiment (when ears were harvested)total and 6 selected ears per plots within blocks A-C were collectedseparately. The plants with (total and 6) were weighted (gr.) separatelyand the average ear per plant was calculated for total (Ear FW per plot)and for 6 (Ear FW per plant).

Plant height and Ear height—Plants were characterized for height atharvesting. In each measure, 6 plants were measured for their heightusing a measuring tape. Height was measured from ground level to top ofthe plant below the tassel. Ear height was measured from the groundlevel to the place were the main ear is located.

Leaf number per plant—Plants were characterized for leaf number duringgrowing period at 5 time points. In each measure, plants were measuredfor their leaf number by counting all the leaves of 3 selected plantsper plot.

Relative Growth Rate—RGR of leaf number was performed using Formula VIIIabove (measured in grams per day).

SPAD—Chlorophyll content was determined using a Minolta SPAD 502chlorophyll meter and measurement was performed 64 days post sowing.SPAD meter readings were done on young fully developed leaf. Threemeasurements per leaf were taken per plot. Data were taken after 46 and54 days after sowing (DPS).

Dry weight per plant—At the end of the experiment when all vegetativematerial from plots within blocks A-C were collected, weight and dividedby the number of plants.

Ear diameter [cm]—The diameter of the ear at the mid of the ear wasmeasured using a ruler.

Cob diameter [cm]—The diameter of the cob without grains was measuredusing a ruler.

Kernel Row Number per Ear—The number of rows in each ear was counted.The average of 6 ears per plot was calculated.

Leaf area index [LAI]=total leaf area of all plants in a plot.Measurement was performed using a Leaf area-meter.

Yield/LA1 [kg]—is the ratio between total grain yields and total leafarea index.

Example 6 Production of Barley Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 60K Barley Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis comparingbetween plant phenotype and gene expression level, the present inventorsutilized a Barley oligonucleotide micro-array, produced by AgilentTechnologies [chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 60K Barleygenes and transcripts. In order to define correlations between thelevels of RNA expression and yield or vigor related parameters, variousplant characteristics of 15 different Barley accessions were analyzed.Among them, 10 accessions encompassing the observed variance wereselected for RNA expression analysis. The correlation between the RNAlevels and the characterized parameters was analyzed using Pearsoncorrelation test [davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot) html].

Experimental Procedures

Analyzed Barley tissues—Five tissues at different developmental stages[leaf, meristem, root tip, adventitious root and booting spike],representing different plant characteristics, were sampled and RNA wasextracted as described above. Each micro-array expression informationtissue type has received a Set ID as summarized in Tables 23 and 24below.

Barley yield components and vigor related parameters assessment—15Barley accessions in 5 repetitive blocks, each containing 5 plants perpot were grown at net house. Three different treatments were applied:plants were regularly fertilized and watered during plant growth untilharvesting (as recommended for commercial growth) or under low Nitrogen(80% percent less Nitrogen) or drought stress. Plants were phenotyped ona daily basis following the standard descriptor of barley (Tables 25 and26, below). Harvest was conducted while all the spikes were dry. Allmaterial was oven dried and the seeds were threshed manually from thespikes prior to measurement of the seed characteristics (weight andsize) using scanning and image analysis. The image analysis systemincluded a personal desktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and apublic domain program—ImageJ 1.37 (Java based image processing program,which was developed at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and freelyavailable on the internet [rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/]. Next, analyzeddata was saved to text files and processed using the JMP statisticalanalysis software (SAS institute).

Grains number—The total number of grains from all spikes that weremanually threshed was counted. Number of grains per plot were counted.

Grain weight (gr.)—At the end of the experiment all spikes of the potswere collected. The total grains from all spikes that were manuallythreshed were weighted. The grain yield was calculated by per plot.

Spike length and width analysis—At the end of the experiment the lengthand width of five chosen spikes per plant were measured using measuringtape excluding the awns.

Spike number analysis—The spikes per plant were counted.

Plant height—Each of the plants was measured for its height usingmeasuring tape. Height was measured from ground level to top of thelongest spike excluding awns at two time points at the Vegetative growth(30 days after sowing) and at harvest.

Spike weight—The biomass and spikes weight of each plot was separated,measured and divided by the number of plants.

Dry weight=total weight of the vegetative portion above ground(excluding roots) after drying at 70° C. in oven for 48 hours at twotime points at the Vegetative growth (30 days after sowing) and atharvest.

Root dry weight=total weight of the root portion underground afterdrying at 70° C. in oven for 48 hours at harvest.

Root/Shoot Ratio—Root/Shoot Ratio (=RBiH/BiH) was performed usingFormula XXII above.

Total No of tillers—all tillers were counted per plot at two time pointsat the Vegetative growth (30 days after sowing) and at harvest.

SPAD—Chlorophyll content was determined using a Minolta SPAD 502chlorophyll meter and measurement was performed at time of flowering.SPAD meter readings were done on young fully developed leaf. Threemeasurements per leaf were taken per plot.

Root FW (gr.), root length (cm) and number of lateral roots—3 plants perplot were selected for measurement of root weight, root length and forcounting the number of lateral roots formed.

Shoot FW—weight of 3 plants per plot were recorded at differenttime-points.

Relative water content—Fresh weight (FW) of three leaves from threeplants each from different seed ID was immediately recorded; then leaveswere soaked for 8 hours in distilled water at room temperature in thedark, and the turgid weight (TW) was recorded. Total dry weight (DW) wasrecorded after drying the leaves at 60° C. to a constant weight.Relative water content (RWC) was calculated according to Formula Iabove.

Harvest Index (for barley)—The harvest index was calculated usingFormula XVIII above.

Relative growth rate: relative growth rate (RGR) of Plant Height. SPADand number of tillers were performed using Formula III, Formula IV andFormula V respectively.

Example 7 Production of Brachypodium Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 60K Brachypodium Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis comparingbetween plant phenotype and gene expression level, the present inventorsutilized a brachypodium oligonucleotide micro-array, produced by AgilentTechnologies [chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 60Kbrachypodium genes and transcripts. In order to define correlationsbetween the levels of RNA expression and yield or vigor relatedparameters, various plant characteristics of 24 different brachypodiumaccessions were analyzed. Among them, 22 accessions encompassing theobserved variance were selected for RNA expression analysis andcomparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis.

The correlation between the RNA levels and the characterized parameterswas analyzed using Pearson correlation test [davidmlane (dot)com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot) html].

Additional correlation analysis was done by comparing plant phenotypeand gene copy number. The correlation between the normalized copy numberhybridization signal and the characterized parameters was analyzed usingPearson correlation test [davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot)html].

Experimental Procedures

Analyzed Brachypodium tissues—two tissues [leaf and spike] were sampledand RNA was extracted as described above. Each micro-array expressioninformation tissue type has received a Set ID as summarized in Table 32below.

TABLE 32 Brachypodium transcriptome expression sets Expression Set SetID Leaf at flowering stage under normal growth conditions 1 Leaf atflowering stage under normal growth conditions 2 spike at floweringstage under normal growth conditions 3 Table 32. From set ID No. 1 thesample was used to extract DNA; from set ID No. 2 and 3 the samples wereused to extract RNA.

Brachypodium yield components and vigor related parameters assessment—24brachypodium accessions were grown in 4-6 repetitive plots (8 plant perplot), in a green house. The growing protocol was as follows:brachypodium seeds were sown in plots and grown under normal condition.Plants were continuously phenotyped during the growth period and atharvest (Table 34-35, below). The image analysis system included apersonal desktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a publicdomain program—ImageJ 1.37 (Java based image processing program, whichwas developed at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and freelyavailable on the internet [rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/]. Next, analyzeddata was saved to text files and processed using the JMP statisticalanalysis software (SAS institute).

At the end of the growing period the grains were separated from thespikes and the following parameters were measured using digital imagingsystem and collected:

No. of tillering—all tillers were counted per plant at harvest (mean perplot).

Head number—At the end of the experiment, heads were harvested from eachplot and were counted.

Total Grains weight per plot (gr.)—At the end of the experiment (plant‘Heads’) heads from plots were collected, the heads were threshed andgrains were weighted. In addition, the average grain weight per head wascalculated by dividing the total grain weight by number of total headsper plot (based on plot).

Highest number of spikelets—The highest spikelet number per head wascalculated per plant (mean per plot).

Mean number of spikelets—The mean spikelet number per head wascalculated per plot.

Plant height—Each of the plants was measured for its height usingmeasuring tape. Height was measured from ground level to spike base ofthe longest spike at harvest.

Spikelets weight (gr.)—The biomass and spikes weight of each plot wasseparated, measured per plot.

Average head weight—calculated by dividing spikelets weight with headnumber (gr.).

Harvest Index—harvest index was performed using Formula LXV above.

Spikelets Index—Spikelets index was performed using Formula XXXI.

Percent Number of heads with spikelets—The number of heads with morethan one spikelet per plant were counted and the percent from all headsper plant was calculated.

Total dry mater per plot—Calculated as Vegetative portion above groundplus all the spikelet dry weight per plot.

1000 grain weight—At the end of the experiment all grains from all plotswere collected and weighted and the weight of 1000 were calculated.

The following parameters were collected using digital imaging system:

At the end of the growing period the grains were separated from thespikes and the following parameters were measured and collected:

(i) Average Grain Area (cm²)—A sample of ˜200 grains was weighted,photographed and images were processed using the below described imageprocessing system. The grain area was measured from those images and wasdivided by the number of grains.

(ii) Average Grain Length, perimeter and width (cm)—A sample of ˜200grains was weighted, photographed and images were processed using thebelow described image processing system. The sum of grain lengths andwidth (longest axis) was measured from those images and was divided bythe number of grains.

The image processing system was used, which consists of a personaldesktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domainprogram—ImageJ 1.37, Java based image processing software, which wasdeveloped at the U.S. National Institutes rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/.Images were captured in resolution of 10 Mega Pixels (3888×2592 pixels)and stored in allow compression JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Groupstandard) format. Next, image processing output data for seed area andseed length was saved to text files and analyzed using the JMPstatistical analysis software (SAS institute).

Example 8 Production of Foxtail Millet Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 60K Foxtaill Millet OligonucleotideMicro-Array

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis comparingbetween plant phenotype and gene expression level, the present inventorsutilized a foxtail millet oligonucleotide micro-array, produced byAgilent Technologies [chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 60K foxtailmillet genes and transcripts. In order to define correlations betweenthe levels of RNA expression and yield or vigor related parameters,various plant characteristics of 15 different foxtail millet accessionswere analyzed. Among them, 11 accessions encompassing the observedvariance were selected for RNA expression analysis. The correlationbetween the RNA levels and the characterized parameters was analyzedusing Pearson correlation test [davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739(dot) html].

Experimental Procedures

Analyzed Foxtail millet tissues—three tissues at different developmentalstages [leaf, flower, and stem], representing different plantcharacteristics, were sampled and RNA was extracted as described above.Each micro-array expression information tissue type has received a SetID as summarized in Table 38 below.

TABLE 38 Foxtail millet transcriptome expression sets Expression Set SetID Grain, grain filling stage, normal 1 Leaf, grain fitting stage,normal 2 Stem, grain filling stage, normal 3 Flower, flowering stage,normal 4 Leaf, flowering stage, normal 5 Table 38.

Foxtaill millet yield components and vigor related parametersassessment—14 Foxtail millet accessions in 5 repetitive plots, in thefield. Foxtaill millet seeds were sown in soil and grown under normalcondition in the field. Plants were continuously phenotyped during thegrowth period and at harvest (Tables 40-41, below). The image analysissystem included a personal desktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor)and a public domain program—ImageJ 1.37 (Java based image processingprogram, which was developed at the U.S. National Institutes of Healthand freely available on the internet [rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/].Next, analyzed data was saved to text files and processed using the JMPstatistical analysis software (SAS institute).

The following parameters were collected using digital imaging system:

At the end of the growing period the grains were separated from thePlant ‘Head’ and the following parameters were measured and collected:

(i) Average Grain Area (cm²)—A sample of ˜200 grains was weighted,photographed and images were processed using the below described imageprocessing system. The grain area was measured from those images and wasdivided by the number of grains.

(ii) Average Grain Length and width (cm)—A sample of ˜200 grains wasweighted, photographed and images were processed using the belowdescribed image processing system. The sum of grain lengths and width(longest axis) was measured from those images and was divided by thenumber of grains.

At the end of the growing period 14 ‘Heads’ were photographed and imageswere processed using the below described image processing system.

(i) Head Average Area (cm²)—The ‘Head’ area was measured from thoseimages and was divided by the number of ‘Heads’.

(ii) Head Average Length (mm)—The ‘Head’ length (longest axis) wasmeasured from those images and was divided by the number of ‘Heads’.

The image processing system was used, which consists of a personaldesktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domainprogram—ImageJ 1.37, Java based image processing software, which wasdeveloped at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and is freelyavailable on the internet at rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/. Images werecaptured in resolution of 10 Mega Pixels (3888×2592 pixels) and storedin a low compression JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group standard)format. Next, image processing output data for seed area and seed lengthwas saved to text files and analyzed using the JMP statistical analysissoftware (SAS institute).

Additional parameters were collected either by sampling 5 plants perplot or by measuring the parameter across all the plants within theplot.

Total Grain Weight (gr.)—At the end of the experiment (plant ‘Heads’)heads from plots were collected, the heads were threshed and grains wereweighted. In addition, the average grain weight per head was calculatedby dividing the total grain weight by number of total heads per plot(based on plot).

Head weight and head number—At the end of the experiment, heads wereharvested from each plot and were counted and weighted (kg.).

Biomass at harvest—At the end of the experiment the vegetative materialfrom plots was weighted.

Dry weight=total weight of the vegetative portion above ground(excluding roots) after drying at 70° C. in oven for 48 hours atharvest.

Total dry mater per plot—Calculated as Vegetative portion above groundplus all the heads dry weight per plot.

Num days to anthesis—Calculated as the number of days from sowing till50% of the plot arrive anthesis.

Example 9 Production of Soybean (Glycine Max) Transcriptome and HighThroughput Correlation Analysis with Yield Parameters Using 44K B.Soybean Oligonucleotide Micro-Arrays

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis, the presentinventors utilized a Soybean oligonucleotide micro-array, produced byAgilent Technologies [chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 42,000Soybean genes and transcripts. In order to define correlations betweenthe levels of RNA expression with yield components or plant architecturerelated parameters or plant vigor related parameters, various plantcharacteristics of 29 different Glycine max varieties were analyzed and12 varieties were further used for RNA expression analysis. Thecorrelation between the RNA levels and the characterized parameters wasanalyzed using Pearson correlation test.

Experimental Procedures

29 Soybean varieties were grown in three repetitive plots, in field.Briefly, the growing protocol was as follows: Soybean seeds were sown insoil and grown under normal conditions until harvest. In order to definecorrelations between the levels of RNA expression with yield componentsor plant architecture related parameters or vigor related parameters, 12different Soybean varieties (out of 29 varieties) were analyzed and usedfor gene expression analyses. Analysis was performed at twopre-determined time periods: at pod set (when the soybean pods areformed) and at harvest time (when the soybean pods are ready forharvest, with mature seeds).

Example 10 Production of Tomato Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 44K Tomato Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis between NUErelated phenotypes and gene expression, the present inventors utilized aTomato oligonucleotide micro-array, produced by Agilent Technologies[chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot) asp?1Page=50879]. Thearray oligonucleotide represents about 44,000 Tomato genes andtranscripts. In order to define correlations between the levels of RNAexpression with NUE, ABST, yield components or vigor related parametersvarious plant characteristics of 18 different Tomato varieties wereanalyzed. Among them, 10 varieties encompassing the observed variancewere selected for RNA expression analysis. The correlation between theRNA levels and the characterized parameters was analyzed using Pearsoncorrelation test [davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot) html].

Correlation of Tomato Varieties Across Ecotypes Grown Under LowNitrogen, Drought and Regular Growth Conditions

Experimental Procedures:

10 Tomato varieties were grown in 3 repetitive blocks, each containing 6plants per plot were grown at net house. Briefly, the growing protocolwas as follows:

1. Regular growth conditions: Tomato varieties were grown under normalconditions (4-6 Liters/m² of water per day and fertilized with NPK asrecommended in protocols for commercial tomato production).

2. Low Nitrogen fertilization conditions: Tomato varieties were grownunder normal conditions (4-6 Liters/m² per day and fertilized with NPKas recommended in protocols for commercial tomato production) untilflower stage. At this time, Nitrogen fertilization was stopped.

3. Drought stress: Tomato variety was grown under normal conditions (4-6Liters/m² per day) until flower stage. At this time, irrigation wasreduced to 50% compared to normal conditions. Plants were phenotyped ona daily basis following the standard descriptor of tomato (Table 49).Harvest was conducted while 50% of the fruits were red (mature). Plantswere separated to the vegetative part and fruits, of them, 2 nodes wereanalyzed for additional inflorescent parameters such as size, number offlowers, and inflorescent weight. Fresh weight of all vegetativematerial was measured. Fruits were separated to colors (red vs. green)and in accordance with the fruit size (small, medium and large). Next,analyzed data was saved to text files and processed using the JMPstatistical analysis software (SAS institute). Data parameters collectedare summarized in Tables 50-52, herein below.

Analyzed Tomato tissues—Two tissues at different developmental stages[flower and leaf], representing different plant characteristics, weresampled and RNA was extracted as described above. For convenience, eachmicro-array expression information tissue type has received a Set ID assummarized in Table 48 below.

Table 49 provides the tomato correlated parameters (Vectors). Theaverage for each of the measured parameter was calculated using the JMPsoftware and values are summarized in Tables 50-52 below. Subsequentcorrelation analysis was conducted (Table 53). Results were integratedto the database.

Provided are the tomatocorrelated parameters. “gr.” = grams; “FW” = fresh weight; “NUE” =nitrogen use efficiency; “RWC” = relative water content; “NUpE” =nitrogen uptake efficiency; “SPAD” = chlorophyll levels; “HI” = harvestindex (vegetative weight divided on yield); “SLA” = specific leaf area(leaf area divided by leaf dry weight), Treatment in the parenthesis.

Fruit Weight (grams)—At the end of the experiment [when 50% of thefruits were ripe (red)] all fruits from plots within blocks A-C werecollected. The total fruits were counted and weighted. The averagefruits weight was calculated by dividing the total fruit weight by thenumber of fruits.

Plant vegetative Weight (grams)—At the end of the experiment [when 50%of the fruit were ripe (red)] all plants from plots within blocks A-Cwere collected. Fresh weight was measured (grams).

Inflorescence Weight (grams)—At the end of the experiment [when 50% ofthe fruits were ripe (red)] two Inflorescence from plots within blocksA-C were collected. The Inflorescence weight (gr.) and number of flowersper inflorescence were counted.

SPAD—Chlorophyll content was determined using a Minolta SPAD502chlorophyll meter and measurement was performed at time of flowering.SPAD meter readings were done on young fully developed leaf. Threemeasurements per leaf were taken per plot.

Water use efficiency (WUE)—can be determined as the biomass produced perunit transpiration. To analyze WUE, leaf relative water content wasmeasured in control and transgenic plants. Fresh weight (FW) wasimmediately recorded; then leaves were soaked for 8 hours in distilledwater at room temperature in the dark, and the turgid weight (TW) wasrecorded. Total dry weight (DW) was recorded after drying the leaves at60° C. to a constant weight. Relative water content (RWC) was calculatedaccording to the following Formula I[(FW−DW/TW−DW)×100] as describedabove.

Plants that maintain high relative water content (RWC) compared tocontrol lines were considered more tolerant to drought than thoseexhibiting reduced relative water content

Example 11 Production of Maize Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis with Yield, NUE, and ABST Related ParametersMeasured in Semi-Hydroponics Conditions Using 60K Maize OligonucleotideMicro-Arrays

Maize vigor related parameters under low nitrogen, 100 mM NaCl, lowtemperature (10±2° C.) and normal growth conditions—twelve Maize hybridswere grown in 5 repetitive plots, each containing 7 plants, at a nethouse under semi-hydroponics conditions. Briefly, the growing protocolwas as follows: Maize seeds were sown in trays filled with a mix ofvermiculite and peat in a 1:1 ratio. Following germination, the trayswere transferred to the high salinity solution (100 mM NaCl in additionto the Full Hoagland solution), low temperature (10±2° C. in thepresence of Full Hoagland solution), low nitrogen solution (the amountof total nitrogen was reduced in 90% from the full Hoagland solution(i.e., to a final concentration of 10% from full Hoagland solution,final amount of 1.6 mM N) or at Normal growth solution (Full Hoaglandcontaining 16 mM N solution, at 28±2° C.). Plants were grown at 28±2° C.

Example 12 Production of Sorghum Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 60K Sorghum Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis between plantphenotype and gene expression level, the present inventors utilized asorghum oligonucleotide micro-array, produced by Agilent Technologies[chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot) asp?1Page=50879]. Thearray oligonucleotide represents about 60,000 sorghum genes andtranscripts. In order to define correlations between the levels of RNAexpression with vigor related parameters, various plant characteristicsof 10 different sorghum hybrids were analyzed. The correlation betweenthe RNA levels and the characterized parameters was analyzed usingPearson correlation test [davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot)html].

Experimental Procedures

Correlation of Sorghum varieties across ecotypes grown in growthchambers under temperature of 30° C. or 14° C. at low light (100 μE) andhigh light (250 μE) conditions.

Analyzed Sorghum tissues—All 10 selected Sorghum hybrids were sample pereach condition.

The following parameters were collected by sampling 8-10 plants per plotor by measuring the parameter across all the plants within the plot.

Relative Growth Rate of vegetative dry weight was performed usingFormula VII.

Leaves number—Plants were characterized for leaf number during growingperiod. In each measure, plants were measured for their leaf number bycounting all the leaves of selected plants per plot.

Shoot FW—shoot fresh weight per plant, measurement of all vegetativetissue above ground.

Shoot DW—shoot dry weight per plant, measurement of all vegetativetissue above ground after drying at 70° C. in oven for 48 hours.

The average for each of the measured parameter was calculated and valuesare summarized in Tables 73-76 below. Subsequent correlation analysiswas performed (Table 77). Results were then integrated to the database.

Example 13 Production of Maize Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis when Grown Under Normal and Defoliation Using 60KMaize Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

To produce a high throughput correlation analysis, the present inventorsutilized a Maize oligonucleotide micro-array, produced by AgilentTechnologies [chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 60K Maizegenes and transcripts designed based on data from Public databases(Example 1). To define correlations between the levels of RNA expressionand yield, biomass components or vigor related parameters, various plantcharacteristics of 13 different Maize hybrids were analyzed under normaland defoliation conditions. Same hybrids were subjected to RNAexpression analysis. The correlation between the RNA levels and thecharacterized parameters was analyzed using Pearson correlation test[davidmlane (dot) com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot) html].

Experimental Procedures

13 maize hybrids lines were grown in 6 repetitive plots, in field. Maizeseeds were planted and plants were grown in the field using commercialfertilization and irrigation protocols. After silking 3 plots in everyhybrid line underwent the defoliation treatment. In this defoliationtreatment all the leaves above the ear were removed. After the treatmentall the plants were grown according to the same commercial fertilizationand irrigation protocols.

Three tissues at flowering (R1) and grain filling (R3) developmentalstage including leaf (flowering −R1), stem (flowering −R1 and grainfilling −R3), and flowering meristem (flowering −R1) representingdifferent plant characteristics, were sampled from treated and untreatedplants. RNA was extracted as described in “GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL ANDBIOINFORMATICS METHODS”. For convenience, each micro-array expressioninformation tissue type has received a Set ID as summarized in Tables78-79 below.

Example 14 Production of Barley Transcriptome and High ThroughputCorrelation Analysis Using 60K Barley Oligonucleotide Micro-Array

In order to produce a high throughput correlation analysis, the presentinventors utilized a Barley oligonucleotide micro-array, produced byAgilent Technologies [chem. (dot) agilent (dot) com/Scripts/PDS (dot)asp?1Page=50879]. The array oligonucleotide represents about 33.777Barley genes and transcripts. In order to define correlations betweenthe levels of RNA expression and yield or vigor related parameters,various plant characteristics of 55 different Barley accessions wereanalyzed. Same accessions were subjected to RNA expression analysis. Thecorrelation between the RNA levels and the characterized parameters wasanalyzed using Pearson correlation test [davidmlane (dot)com/hyperstat/A34739 (dot) html].

Experimental Procedures Four tissues at different developmental stages[leaf, flag leaf, spike and peduncle], representing different plantcharacteristics, were sampled and RNA was extracted as describedhereinabove under “GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL AND BIOINFORMATICS METHODS”.

For convenience, each micro-array expression information tissue type hasreceived a Set ID as summarized in Table 87 below.

Barley yield components and vigor related parameters assessment—55Barley accessions in 5 repetitive blocks (named A, B. C. D and E), eachcontaining 48 plants per plot were grown in field. Plants werephenotyped on a daily basis. Harvest was conducted while 50% of thespikes were dry to avoid spontaneous release of the seeds. All materialwas oven dried and the seeds were threshed manually from the spikesprior to measurement of the seed characteristics (weight and size) usingscanning and image analysis. The image analysis system included apersonal desktop computer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a publicdomain program—ImageJ 1.37 (Java based image processing program, whichwas developed at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and freelyavailable on the internet [rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/]. Next, analyzeddata was saved to text files and processed using the JMP statisticalanalysis software (SAS institute).

At the end of the experiment (50% of the spikes were dry) all spikesfrom plots within blocks A-E were collected, and the followingmeasurements were performed:

Example 15 Gene Cloning and Generation of Binary Vectors for PlantExpression

To validate their role in improving yield, selected genes wereover-expressed in plants, as follows.

Cloning Strategy

Selected genes from those presented in Examples 1-14 hereinabove werecloned into binary vectors for the generation of transgenic plants. Forcloning, the full-length open reading frames (ORFs) were identified. ESTclusters and in some cases mRNA sequences were analyzed to identify theentire open reading frame by comparing the results of severaltranslation algorithms to known proteins from other plant species.

In order to clone the full-length cDNAs, reverse transcription (RT)followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR; RT-PCR) was performed ontotal RNA extracted from leaves, roots or other plant tissues, growingunder normal/limiting or stress conditions. Total RNA extraction,production of cDNA and PCR amplification was performed using standardprotocols described elsewhere (Sambrook J., E. F. Fritsch, and T.Maniatis. 1989. Molecular Cloning. A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Ed. ColdSpring Harbor Laboratory Press. N.Y.) which are well known to thoseskilled in the art. PCR products were purified using PCR purificationkit (Qiagen).

Usually, 2 sets of primers were prepared for the amplification of eachgene, via nested PCR (if required). Both sets of primers were used foramplification on a cDNA. In case no product was obtained, a nested PCRreaction was performed. Nested PCR was performed by amplification of thegene using external primers and then using the produced PCR product as atemplate for a second PCR reaction, where the internal set of primerswere used. Alternatively, one or two of the internal primers were usedfor gene amplification, both in the first and the second PCR reactions(meaning only 2-3 primers are designed for a gene). To facilitatefurther cloning of the cDNAs, an 8-12 base pairs (bp) extension wasadded to the 5′ of each internal primer. The primer extension includesan endonuclease restriction site. The restriction sites were selectedusing two parameters: (a) the restriction site does not exist in thecDNA sequence; and (b) the restriction sites in the forward and reverseprimers were designed such that the digested cDNA was inserted in thesense direction into the binary vector utilized for transformation.

PCR products were digested with the restriction endonucleases (NewEngland BioLabs Inc) according to the sites designed in the primers.Each digested/undigested PCR product was inserted into a high copyvector pUC19 (New England BioLabs Inc], or into plasmids originatingfrom this vector. In some cases the undigested PCR product was insertedinto pCR-Blunt II-TOPO (Invitrogen) or into pJET1.2 (CloneJET PCRCloning Kit, Thermo Scientific) or directly into the binary vector. Thedigested/undigested products and the linearized plasmid vector wereligated using T4 DNA ligase enzyme (Roche. Switzerland or othermanufacturers). In cases where pCR-Blunt II-TOPO is used no T4 ligase isneeded.

Sequencing of the inserted genes was performed, using the ABI 377sequencer (Applied Biosystems). In some cases, after confirming thesequences of the cloned genes, the cloned cDNA was introduced into amodified pGI binary vector containing the At6669 promoter (e.g., pQFNc)and the NOS terminator (SEQ ID NO: 8201) via digestion with appropriaterestriction endonucleases.

In case of Brachypodium transformation, after confirming the sequencesof the cloned genes, the cloned cDNAs were introduced into pEBbVNi (FIG.9A) containing 35S promoter (SEQ ID NO: 8202) and the NOS terminator(SEQ ID NO:8201) via digestion with appropriate restrictionendonucleases. The genes were cloned downstream to the 35S promoter andupstream to the NOS terminator.

Several DNA sequences of the selected genes were synthesized by GeneArt(Life Technologies, Grand Island, N.Y., USA). Synthetic DNA was designedin silico. Suitable restriction enzymes sites were added to the clonedsequences at the 5′ end and at the 3′ end to enable later cloning intothe desired binary vector.

Binary vectors—The pPI plasmid vector was constructed by inserting asynthetic poly-(A) signal sequence, originating from pGL3 basic plasmidvector (Promega, GenBank Accession No. U47295; nucleotides 4658-4811)into the HindIII restriction site of the binary vector pBI101.3(Clontech, GenBank Accession No. U12640), pGI is similar to pPI, but theoriginal gene in the backbone is GUS-Intron and not GUS.

The modified pGI vector (e.g., pQFN, pQFNc, pQYN_6669, pQNa_RP, pQFYN orpQXNc) is a modified version of the pGI vector in which the cassette isinverted between the left and right borders so the gene and itscorresponding promoter are close to the right border and the NPTII geneis close to the left border.

At6669, the new Arabidopsis thaliana promoter sequence (SEQ ID NO:8190)was inserted in the modified pGI binary vector, upstream to the clonedgenes, followed by DNA ligation and binary plasmid extraction frompositive E. coli colonies, as described above. Colonies were analyzed byPCR using the primers covering the insert which were designed to spanthe introduced promoter and gene. Positive plasmids were identified,isolated and sequenced.

pEBbVNi (FIG. 9A) is a modified version of pJJ2LB in which theHygromycin resistance gene was replaced with the BAR gene which confersresistance to the BASTA herbicide [BAR gene coding sequence is providedin GenBank Accession No. JQ293091.1 (SEQ ID NO:8203); furtherdescription is provided in Akama K. et al. “EfficientAgrobacterium-mediated transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana using thebar gene as selectable marker”, Plant Cell Rep. 1995, 14(7):450-4;Christiansen P, et al. “A rapid and efficient transformation protocolfor the grass Brachypodium distachyon”, Plant Cell Rep. 2005 March;23(10-11):751-8.

The pEBbVNi construct contains the 35S promoter (SEQ IDNO:8202). pJJ2LB is a modified version of pCambia0305.2 (Cambia).

In case genomic DNA was cloned, the genes were amplified by direct PCRon genomic DNA extracted from leaf tissue using the DNAeasy kit (QiagenCat. No. 69104).

Example 16 Transforming Agrobacterium tumefaciens Cells with BinaryVectors Harboring Putative Genes

The above described binary vectors were used to transform Agrobacteriumcells. Two additional binary constructs, having only the At6669 or the35S promoter, or no additional promoter were used as negative controls.

The binary vectors were introduced to Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV301 orLB4404 (for Arabidopsis) or AGL1 (for Brachypodium) competent cells(about 10⁹ cells/mL) by electroporation. The electroporation wasperformed using a MicroPulser electroporator (Biorad), 0.2 cm cuvettes(Biorad) and EC-2 electroporation program (Biorad). The treated cellswere cultured in LB liquid medium at 28° C. for 3 hours, then platedover LB agar supplemented with gentamycin (for Arabidopsis; 50 mg/L; forAgrobacterium strains GV301) or streptomycin (for Arabidopsis; 300 mg/L;for Agrobacterium strain LB4404); or with Carbenicillin (forBrachypodium; 50 mg/L) and kanamycin (for Arabidopsis and Brachypodium;50 mg/L) at 28° C. for 48 hours. Agrobacterium colonies, which weredeveloped on the selective media, were further analyzed by PCR using theprimers designed to span the inserted sequence in the pPI plasmid. Theresulting PCR products were isolated and sequenced to verify that thecorrect polynucleotide sequences of the invention were properlyintroduced to the Agrobacterium cells.

Materials and Experimental Methods

Plant transformation—The Arabidopsis thaliana var Columbia (To plants)were transformed according to the Floral Dip procedure [Clough S J, BentA F. (1998) Floral dip: a simplified method for Agrobacterium-mediatedtransformation of Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant J. 16(6): 735-43; andDesfeux C, Clough S J, Bent A F. (2000) Female reproductive tissues werethe primary targets of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation by theArabidopsis floral-dip method. Plant Physiol. 123(3): 895-904] withminor modifications. Briefly, Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia (Col0) Toplants were sown in 250 ml pots filled with wet peat-based growth mix.The pots were covered with aluminum foil and a plastic dome, kept at 4°C. for 3-4 days, then uncovered and incubated in a growth chamber at18-24° C. under 16/8 hours light/dark cycles. The T₀ plants were readyfor transformation six days before anthesis.

Single colonies of Agrobacterium carrying the binary vectors harboringthe yield genes were cultured in LB medium supplemented with kanamycin(50 mg/L) and gentamycin (50 mg/L). The cultures were incubated at 28°C. for 48 hours under vigorous shaking and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5minutes. The pellets comprising Agrobacterium cells were resuspended ina transformation medium which contained half-strength (2.15 g/L)Murashige-Skoog (Duchefa); 0.044 μM benzylamino purine (Sigma); 112 μg/LB5 Gambourg vitamins (Sigma); 5% sucrose; and 0.2 ml/L Silwet L-77 (OSISpecialists, Conn.) in double-distilled water, at pH of 5.7.

Transformation of T₀ plants was performed by inverting each plant intoan Agrobacterium suspension such that the above ground plant tissue wassubmerged for 3-5 seconds. Each inoculated T₀ plant was immediatelyplaced in a plastic tray, then covered with clear plastic dome tomaintain humidity and was kept in the dark at room temperature for 18hours to facilitate infection and transformation. Transformed(transgenic) plants were then uncovered and transferred to a greenhousefor recovery and maturation. The transgenic T₀ plants were grown in thegreenhouse for 3-5 weeks until siliques were brown and dry, then seedswere harvested from plants and kept at room temperature until sowing.

For generating T₁ and T₂ transgenic plants harboring the genes, seedscollected from transgenic T₀ plants were surface-sterilized by soakingin 70% ethanol for 1 minute, followed by soaking in 5% sodiumhypochlorite and 0.05% triton for 5 minutes. The surface-sterilizedseeds were thoroughly washed in sterile distilled water then placed onculture plates containing half-strength Murashig-Skoog (Duchefa); 2%sucrose; 0.8% plant agar; 50 mM kanamycin; and 200 mM carbenicylin(Duchefa). The culture plates were incubated at 4° C. for 48 hours thentransferred to a growth room at 25° C. for an additional week ofincubation. Vital T₁ Arabidopsis plants were transferred to a freshculture plates for another week of incubation. Following incubation theT₁ plants were removed from culture plates and planted in growth mixcontained in 250 ml pots. The transgenic plants were allowed to grow ina greenhouse to maturity. Seeds harvested from T₁ plants were culturedand grown to maturity as T2 plants under the same conditions as used forculturing and growing the T₁ plants.

Example 18 Transformation of Brachypodium distachyon Plants with thePolynucleotides of the Invention

Similar to the Arabidopsis model plant, Brachypodium distachyon hasseveral features that recommend it as a model plant for functionalgenomic studies, especially in the grasses. Traits that make it an idealmodel include its small genome (˜160 Mbp for a diploid genome and 355Mbp for a polyploidy genome), small physical stature, a short lifecycle,and few growth requirements. Brachypodium is related to the major cerealgrain species but is understood to be more closely related to theTriticeae (wheat, barley) than to the other cereals. Brachypodium, withits polyploidy accessions, can serve as an ideal model for these grains(whose genomics size and complexity is a major barrier tobiotechnological improvement).

Brachypodium distachyon embryogenic calli were transformed using theprocedure described by Vogel and Hill (2008) [High-efficiencyAgrobacterium-mediated transformation of Brachypodium distachyon inbredline Bd21-3. Plant Cell Rep 27:471-478], Vain et al (2008)[Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the temperate grassBrachypodium distachyon (genotypeBd21) for T-DNA insertionalmutagenesis. Plant Biotechnology J 6: 236-245], and Vogel J. et al.(2006) [Agrobacterium mediated transformation and inbred linedevelopment in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon. Plant Cell TissOrg. Cult. 85:199-211], each of which is fully incorporated herein byreference, with some minor modifications, which are briefly summarizedhereinbelow.

Callus initiation—Immature spikes (about 2 months after seeding) wereharvested at the very beginning of seeds filling. Spikes were thenhusked and surface sterilized with 3% NaClO containing 0.1% Tween 20,shaked on a gyratory shaker at low speed for 20 minutes. Following threerinses with sterile distilled water, embryos were excised under adissecting microscope in a laminar flow hood using fine forceps.

Excised embryos (size ˜0.3 mm, bell shaped) were placed on callusinduction medium (CIM) [LS salts (Linsmaier, E. M. & Skoog. F. 1965.Physiol. Plantarum 18, 100) and vitamins plus 3% sucrose, 6 mg/L CuSO₄,2.5 mg/l 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, pH 5.8 and 0.25% phytagel(Sigma)] scutellar side down, 100 embryos on a plate, and incubated at28° C. in the dark. Ten days later, the embryonic calli were cleanedfrom emerging roots, shoots and somatic calli, and was subcultured ontofresh CIM medium. During culture, yellowish embryogenic calli (EC)appeared and were further selected (e.g., picked and transferred) forfurther incubation in the same conditions for additional 2 weeks.Twenty-five pieces of sub-cultured calli were then separately placed on90×15 mm petri plates, and incubated as before for three additionalweeks.

Transformation—As described in Vogel and Hill (2008. Supra),Agrobacterium was scraped off 2-day-old MGL plates (plates with the MGLmedium which contains: Tryptone 5 g/l , Yeast Extract 2.5 g/l. NaCl 5g/l. D-Mannitol 5 g/l, MgSO₄*7H₂O 0.204 g/l, K₂HPO₄ 0.25 g/l , GlutamicAcid 1.2 g/l, Plant Agar 7.5 g/l) and resuspended in liquid MS mediumsupplemented with 200 μM acetosyringone to an optic density (OD) at 600nm (OD₆₀₀) of 0.6. Once the desired OD was attained, 1 ml of 10%Synperonic PE/F68 (Sigma) per 100 ml of inoculation medium was added.

To begin inoculation, 300 callus pieces were placed in approximately 12plates (25 callus pieces in each plate) and covered with theAgrobacterium suspension (8-8.5 ml). The calli were incubated in theAgrobacterium suspension for 15 minutes with occasional gentle rocking.After incubation, the Agrobacterium suspension was aspirated off and thecalli were then transferred into co-cultivation plates, prepared byplacing a sterile 7-cm diameter filter paper in an empty 90×15 mm petriplate. The calli pieces were then gently distributed on the filterpaper. One co-cultivation plate was used for two starting callus plates(50 initial calli pieces). The co-cultivation plates were then sealedwith saran wrap and incubated at 24° C. in the dark for 3 days.

The callus pieces were then individually transferred onto CIM medium asdescribed above, which was further supplemented with 200 mg/lTicarcillin (to kill the Agrobacterium) and Bialaphos (5 mg/L) (forselection of the transformed resistant embryogenic calli sections), andincubated at 28° C. in the dark for 14 days.

The calli pieces were then transferred to shoot induction media (SIM; LSsalts and vitamins plus 3% Maltose monohydrate) supplemented with 200mg/l Ticarcillin. Bialaphos (5 mg/L), Indol-3-acetic acid (IAA) (0.25mg/L), and 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) (1 mg/L), and were sub-cultured inlight to the same media after 10 days (total of 20 days). At eachsub-culture all the pieces from a single callus were kept together tomaintain their independence and were incubated under the followingconditions: lighting to a level of 60 IE m−2 s−1, a 16-h light, 8-h darkphotoperiod and a constant 24° C. temperature. Plantlets emerged fromthe transformed calli.

When plantlets were large enough to handle without damage, they weretransferred to plates containing the above mentioned shoot inductionmedia (SIM) with Bialaphos. Each plantlet was considered as a differentevent. The plantlets grew axillary tillers and eventually became bushy.Each bush from the same plant (event ID) was then divided to tissueculture boxes (“Humus”) containing “rooting medium” [MS basal salts, 3%sucrose, 3 g/L phytagel, 2 mg/l α-Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) and 1mg/L IAA and Ticarcillin 200 mg/L, PH 5.8). All plants in a “Humus box”were different plants of the same transformation event. These plants aretested in bulk for expression of bar gene responsible for resistance toglufosinate using strips AgraStrip® LL. Romer Labs.

When plantlets established roots they were transplanted to soil andtransferred to a greenhouse. To verify the transgenic status of plantscontaining the other constructs, T0 plants were subjected to PCR aspreviously described by Vogel et al. 2006 [Agrobacterium mediatedtransformation and inbred line development in the model grassBrachypodium distachyon. Plant Cell Tiss Org. Cult. 85:199-211].

Example 19 Evaluation of Transgenic Arabidopsis for Seed Yield and PlantGrowth Rate Under Normal Conditions in Greenhouse Assays (GH-SM Assays

Assay 1: Seed yield plant biomass and plant growth rate under normalgreenhouse conditions—This assay follows seed yield production, thebiomass formation and the rosette area growth of plants grown in thegreenhouse at non-limiting nitrogen growth conditions. TransgenicArabidopsis seeds were sown in agar media supplemented with ½ MS mediumand a selection agent (Kanamycin). The T₂ transgenic seedlings were thentransplanted to 1.7 trays filled with peat and perlite in a 1:1 ratio.The trays were irrigated with a solution containing 6 mM inorganicnitrogen in the form of KNO₃ with 1 mM KH₂PO₄, 1 mM MgSO₄, 2 mM CaCl₂)and microelements. All plants were grown in the greenhouse until matureseeds. Seeds were harvested, extracted and weighted. The remaining plantbiomass (the above ground tissue) was also harvested, and weightedimmediately or following drying in oven at 50° C. for 24 hours.

Each construct was validated at its T₂ generation. Transgenic plantstransformed with a construct conformed by an empty vector carrying theAt6669 promoter and the selectable marker were used as control.

The plants were analyzed for their overall size, growth rate, flowering,seed yield, 1,000-seed weight, dry matter and harvest index (HI-seedyield/dry matter). Transgenic plants performance was compared to controlplants grown in parallel under the same conditions. Mock-transgenicplants expressing the uidA reporter gene (GUS-Intron) or with no gene atall, under the same promoter were used as control.

The experiment was planned in nested randomized plot distribution. Foreach gene of the invention three to five independent transformationevents were analyzed from each construct.

Digital imaging—A laboratory image acquisition system, which consists ofa digital reflex camera (Canon EOS 300D) attached with a 55 mm focallength lens (Canon EF-S series), mounted on a reproduction device(Kaiser RS), which includes 4 light units (4×150 Watts light bulb) wasused for capturing images of plant samples.

The image capturing process was repeated every 2 days starting from day1 after transplanting till day 15. Same camera, placed in a custom madeiron mount, was used for capturing images of larger plants sawn in whitetubs in an environmental controlled greenhouse. The tubs were squareshape include 1.7 liter trays. During the capture process, the tubs wereplaced beneath the iron mount, while avoiding direct sun light andcasting of shadows.

An image analysis system was used, which consists of a personal desktopcomputer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domain program—ImageJ1.39 [Java based image processing program which was developed at theU.S. National Institutes of Health and freely available on the internetat rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/]. Images are captured in resolution of 10Mega Pixels (3888×2592 pixels) and stored in a low compression JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group standard) format. Next, analyzed datawas saved to text files and processed using the JMP statistical analysissoftware (SAS institute).

Leaf analysis—Using the digital analysis leaves data was calculated,including leaf number, rosette area, rosette diameter, and leaf bladearea.

Vegetative growth rate: the relative growth rate (RGR) of leaf number(Formula VIII), rosette area (Formula IX), plot coverage (Formula XI)and harvest index (Formula XV) was calculated with the indicatedformulas as described above.

Seeds average weight—At the end of the experiment all seeds werecollected. The seeds were scattered on a glass tray and a picture istaken. Using the digital analysis, the number of seeds in each samplewas calculated.

Dry weight and seed yield—On about day 80 from sowing, the plants wereharvested and left to dry at 30° C. in a drying chamber. The biomass andseed weight of each plot were measured and divided by the number ofplants in each plot.

Dry weight=total weight of the vegetative portion above ground(excluding roots) after drying at 30° C. in a drying chamber;

Seed yield per plant=total seed weight per plant (gr.).

1000 seed weight (the weight of 1000 seeds) (gr.).

Oil percentage in seeds—At the end of the experiment all seeds from eachplot were collected. Seeds from 3 plots were mixed grounded and thenmounted onto the extraction chamber. 210 ml of n-Hexane (Cat No. 080951Biolab Ltd.) were used as the solvent. The extraction was performed for30 hours at medium heat 50° C. Once the extraction has ended then-Hexane was evaporated using the evaporator at 35° C. and vacuumconditions. The process was repeated twice. The information gained fromthe Soxhlet extractor (Soxhlet, F. Die gewichtsanalytische Bestimmungdes Milchfettes, Polytechnisches J. (Dingler's) 1879, 232, 461) was usedto create a calibration curve for the Low Resonance NMR. The content ofoil of all seed samples was determined using the Low Resonance NMR(MARAN Ultra-Oxford Instrument) and its MultiQuant software package.

Silique length analysis—On day 50 from sowing, 30 siliques fromdifferent plants in each plot were sampled in block A. The chosensiliques were green-yellow in color and were collected from the bottomparts of a grown plant's stem. A digital photograph was taken todetermine silique's length.

Statistical analyses—To identify outperforming genes and constructs,results from the independent transformation events tested were analyzedseparately. Data was analyzed using Student's t-test and results wereconsidered significant if the p value was less than 0.1. The JMPstatistics software package was used (Version 5.2.1. SAS Institute Inc.,Cary. N.C. USA).

Tables 108-112 summarize the observed phenotypes of transgenic plantsexogenously expressing the gene constructs using the seed maturation(GH-SM) assays under normal conditions. The evaluation of each gene wasperformed by testing the performance of different number of events.Event with p-value <0.1 was considered statistically significant.

Example 20 Evaluation of Transgenic Arabidopsis for Seed Yield and PlantGrowth Rate Under Normal Conditions in Greenhouse Assays Until Bolting(GH-SB Assays

Assay 2: Plant performance improvement measured until bolting stage:plant biomass and plant growth rate under normal greenhouse conditions(GH-SB Assays)—This assay follows the plant biomass formation and therosette area growth of plants grown in the greenhouse under normalgrowth conditions. Transgenic Arabidopsis seeds were sown in agar mediasupplemented with ½ MS medium and a selection agent (Kanamycin). The T₂transgenic seedlings were then transplanted to 1.7 trays filled withpeat and perlite in a 1:1 ratio. The trays were irrigated with asolution containing of 6 mM inorganic nitrogen in the form of KNO₃ with1 mM KH₂PO₄. 1 mM MgSO₄. 2 mM CaCl₂) and microelements. All plants weregrown in the greenhouse until bolting. Plant biomass (the above groundtissue) was weighted in directly after harvesting the rosette (plantfresh weight [FW]). Following plants were dried in an oven at 50° C. for48 hours and weighted (plant dry weight [DW]).

Each construct was validated at its T₂ generation. Transgenic plantstransformed with a construct conformed by an empty vector carrying theAt6669 promoter.

The plants were analyzed for their overall size, growth rate, freshweight and dry matter. Transgenic plants performance was compared tocontrol plants grown in parallel under the same conditions.Mock-transgenic plants expressing the uidA reporter gene (GUS-Intron) orwith no gene at all, under the same promoter were used as control.

The experiment was planned in nested randomized plot distribution. Foreach gene of the invention three to five independent transformationevents were analyzed from each construct.

Digital imaging—A laboratory image acquisition system, which consists ofa digital reflex camera (Canon EOS 300D) attached with a 55 mm focallength lens (Canon EF-S series), mounted on a reproduction device(Kaiser RS), which includes 4 light units (4×150 Watts light bulb) wasused for capturing images of plant samples.

The image capturing process was repeated every 2 days starting from day1 after transplanting till day 15. Same camera, placed in a custom madeiron mount, was used for capturing images of larger plants sawn in whitetubs in an environmental controlled greenhouse. The tubs were squareshape include 1.7 liter trays. During the capture process, the tubeswere placed beneath the iron mount, while avoiding direct sun light andcasting of shadows.

An image analysis system was used, which consists of a personal desktopcomputer (Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domain program—ImageJ1.39 [Java based image processing program which was developed at theU.S. National Institutes of Health and freely available on the internetat rsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/]. Images were captured in resolution of10 Mega Pixels (3888×2592 pixels) and stored in a low compression JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group standard) format. Next, analyzed datawas saved to text files and processed using the JMP statistical analysissoftware (SAS institute).

Leaf analysis—Using the digital analysis leaves data was calculated,including leaf number, rosette area, rosette diameter, and leaf bladearea.

Vegetative growth rate: the relative growth rate (RGR) of leaf number(Formula VIII), rosette area (Formula IX) and plot coverage (Formula XI)were calculated using the indicated formulas as described above.

Plant Fresh and Dry weight—On about day 80 from sowing, the plants wereharvested and directly weighted for the determination of the plant freshweight (FW) and left to dry at 50° C. in a drying chamber for about 48hours before weighting to determine plant dry weight (DW).

Statistical analyses—To identify outperforming genes and constructs,results from the independent transformation events tested were analyzedseparately. Data was analyzed using Student's t-test and results wereconsidered significant if the p value was less than 0.1. The JMPstatistics software package was used (Version 5.2.1, SAS Institute Inc.,Cary, N.C. USA).

Experimental Results:

Tables 113-115 summarize the observed phenotypes of transgenic plantsexpressing the genes constructs using the GH-SB Assays.

The genes listed in Tables 113-115 improved plant performance when grownat normal conditions. These genes produced larger plants with a largerphotosynthetic area (increased photosynthetic capacity), biomass (freshweight, dry weight, rosette diameter, rosette area and plot coverage),relative growth rate, blade relative area and petiole relative area. Thegenes were cloned under the regulation of a constitutive At6669 promoter(SEQ ID NO: 8190). The evaluation of each gene was performed by testingthe performance of different number of events. Event with p-value<0.1was considered statistically significant.

Example 21 Evaluating Transgenic Arabidopsis Under Normal ConditionsUsing Seedling Analysis [TC-T2 and TC-T1 Assays]

Surface sterilized seeds were sown in basal media [50% Murashige-Skoogmedium (MS) supplemented with 0.8% plant agar as solidifying agent] inthe presence of Kanamycin (used as a selecting agent). After sowing,plates were transferred for 2-3 days for stratification at 4° C. andthen grown at 25° C. under 12-hour light 12-hour dark daily cycles for 7to 10 days. At this time point, seedlings randomly chosen were carefullytransferred to plates containing ½ MS media (15 mM N). For experimentsperformed in T₂ lines, each plate contained 5 seedlings of the sametransgenic event, and 3-4 different plates (replicates) for each event.For each polynucleotide of the invention at least four-five independenttransformation events were analyzed from each construct. For experimentsperformed in T₁ lines, each plate contained 5 seedlings of 5 independenttransgenic events and 3-4 different plates (replicates) were planted. Intotal, for T₁ lines, 20 independent events were evaluated. Plantsexpressing the polynucleotides of the invention were compared to theaverage measurement of the control plants (empty vector or GUS reportergene under the same promoter) used in the same experiment.

Digital imaging—A laboratory image acquisition system, which consists ofa digital reflex camera (Canon EOS 300D) attached with a 55 mm focallength lens (Canon EF-S series), mounted on a reproduction device(Kaiser RS), which includes 4 light units (4×150 Watts light bulb) andlocated in a darkroom, was used for capturing images of plantlets sawnin agar plates.

The image capturing process was repeated every 3-4 days starting at day1 till day 10 (see for example the images in FIGS. 3A-3F). An imageanalysis system was used, which consists of a personal desktop computer(Intel P4 3.0 GHz processor) and a public domain program—ImageJ 1.39[Java based image processing program which was developed at the U.S.National Institutes of Health and freely available on the internet atrsbweb (dot) nih (dot) gov/]. Images were captured in resolution of 10Mega Pixels (3888×2592 pixels) and stored in a low compression JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group standard) format. Next, analyzed datawas saved to text files and processed using the JMP statistical analysissoftware (SAS institute).

Seedling analysis—Using the digital analysis seedling data wascalculated, including leaf area, root coverage and root length.

The relative growth rate for the various seedling parameters wascalculated according to the following formulas XIII (RGR leaf area).XXVIII (RGR root coverage) and VI (RGR root length) as described above.

At the end of the experiment, plantlets were removed from the media andweighed for the determination of plant fresh weight. Plantlets were thendried for 24 hours at 60° C. and weighed again to measure plant dryweight for later statistical analysis. The fresh and dry weights wereprovided for each Arabidopsis plant. Growth rate was determined bycomparing the leaf area coverage, root coverage and root length, betweeneach couple of sequential photographs, and results were used to resolvethe effect of the gene introduced on plant vigor under optimalconditions. Similarly, the effect of the gene introduced on biomassaccumulation, under optimal conditions, was determined by comparing theplants' fresh and dry weight to that of control plants (containing anempty vector or the GUS reporter gene under the same promoter). Fromevery construct created, 3-5 independent transformation events wereexamined in replicates.

Statistical analyses—To identify genes conferring significantly improvedplant vigor or enlarged root architecture, the results obtained from thetransgenic plants were compared to those obtained from control plants.To identify outperforming genes and constructs, results from theindependent transformation events tested were analyzed separately. Toevaluate the effect of a gene event over a control the data was analyzedby Student's t-test and the p value was calculated. Results wereconsidered significant if p≤0.1. The JMP statistics software package isused (Version 5.2.1, SAS Institute Inc., Cary. N.C., USA).

Experimental Results:

Tables 116-118 summarize the observed phenotypes of transgenic plantsexpressing the gene constructs using the TC-T2 Assays.

The genes presented in Table 116 showed a significant improvement asthey produced larger plant biomass (plant fresh and dry weight) in T2generation when grown under normal growth conditions, compared tocontrol plants. The genes were cloned under the regulation of aconstitutive promoter (At6669. SEQ ID NO: 8190). The evaluation of eachgene was carried out by testing the performance of different number ofevents. Some of the genes were evaluated in more than one tissue cultureassay. The results obtained in these second experiments weresignificantly positive as well.

The genes presented in Tables 117 and 118 show a significant improvementin plant performance since they produced a larger leaf biomass (leafarea) and root biomass (root length and root coverage) (Table 117) and ahigher relative growth rate of leaf area, root coverage and root length(Table 118) when grown under normal growth conditions, compared tocontrol plants. Plants producing larger root biomass have betterpossibilities to absorb larger amount of nitrogen from soil. Plantsproducing larger leaf biomass have better ability to produceassimilates. The genes were cloned under the regulation of aconstitutive promoter (At6669). The evaluation of each gene wasperformed by testing the performance of different number of events. Someof the genes were evaluated in more than one tissue culture assay. Thissecond experiment confirmed the significant increment in leaf and rootperformance. Event with p-value <0.1 was considered statisticallysignificant.

Tables 119-121 summarize the observed phenotypes of transgenic plantsexpressing the gene constructs using the TC-T1 Assays.

The genes presented in Tables 119-121 showed a significant improvementin plant biomass and root development since they produced a higherbiomass (dry and fresh weight, Table 119), a larger leaf and rootbiomass (leaf area, root length and root coverage) (Table 120), and ahigher relative growth rate of leaf area, root coverage and root length(Table 121) when grown under normal growth conditions, compared tocontrol plants grown under identical growth conditions. Plants producinglarger root biomass have better possibilities to absorb larger amount ofnitrogen from soil. Plants producing larger leaf biomass has betterability to produce assimilates). The genes were cloned under theregulation of a constitutive promoter (At6669; SEQ ID NO: 8190). Theevaluation of each gene was performed by testing the performance ofdifferent number of events. Some of the genes were evaluated in morethan one tissue culture assay. This second experiment confirmed thesignificant increment in leaf and root performance. Event with p-value<0.1 was considered statistically significant.

These results demonstrate that the polynucleotides of the invention arecapable of improving yield and additional valuable importantagricultural traits such as increase of biomass, abiotic stresstolerance, nitrogen use efficiency, yield, vigor, fiber yield and/orquality. Thus, transformed plants showing improved fresh and dry weightdemonstrate the gene capacity to improve biomass a key trait of cropsfor forage and plant productivity: transformed plants showingimprovement of seed yield demonstrate the genes capacity to improveplant productivity; transformed plants showing improvement of plotcoverage and rosette diameter demonstrate the genes capacity to improveplant drought resistance as they reduce the loss of soil water by simpleevaporation and reduce the competition with weeds; hence reduce the needto use herbicides to control weeds.

Assay 3: Nitrogen Use efficiency measured plant biomass and yield atlimited and optimal nitrogen concentration under greenhouse conditionsuntil heading—This assay follows the plant biomass formation and growth(measured by height) of plants which were grown in the greenhouse atlimiting and non-limiting (e.g., normal) nitrogen growth conditions.Transgenic Brachypodium seeds were sown in peat plugs. The T₁ transgenicseedlings were then transplanted to 27.8×11.8×8.5 cm trays filled withpeat and perlite in a 1:1 ratio. The trays were irrigated with asolution containing nitrogen limiting conditions, which were achieved byirrigating the plants with a solution containing 3 mM inorganic nitrogenin the form of NH₄NO₃, supplemented with 1 mM KH₂PO₄, 1 mM MgSO₄. 3.6 mMKCl, 2 mM CaCl₂) and microelements, while normal nitrogen levels wereachieved by applying a solution of 6 mM inorganic nitrogen also in theform of NH₄NO₃ with 1 mM KH₂PO₄, 1 mM MgSO₄, 2 mM CaC₂. 3.6 mM KCl andmicroelements. All plants were grown in the greenhouse until heading.Plant biomass (the above ground tissue) was weighted right afterharvesting the shoots (plant fresh weight [FW]). Following, plants weredried in an oven at 70° C. for 48 hours and weighed (plant dry weight[DW]).

Each construct was validated at its T₁ generation. Transgenic plantstransformed with a construct conformed by an empty vector carrying theBASTA selectable marker were used as control (FIG. 9B).

The plants were analyzed for their overall size, fresh weight and drymatter. Transgenic plants performance was compared to control plantsgrown in parallel under the same conditions. Mock-transgenic plants withno gene and no promoter at all, were used as control (FIG. 9B).

The experiment was planned in blocks and nested randomized plotdistribution within them. For each gene of the invention fiveindependent transformation events were analyzed from each construct.

Phenotyping

Plant Fresh and Dry shoot weight—In Heading assays when heading stagehas completed (about day 30 from sowing), the plants were harvested anddirectly weighed for the determination of the plant fresh weight onsemi-analytical scales (0.0.01 gr) (FW) and left to dry at 70° C. in adrying chamber for about 48 hours before weighting to determine plantdry weight (DW).

Time to Heading—In both Seed Maturation and Heading assays heading wasdefined as the full appearance of the first spikelet in the plant. Thetime to heading occurrence is defined by the date the heading iscompletely visible. The time to heading occurrence date was documentedfor all plants and then the time from planting to heading wascalculated.

Leaf thickness—In Heading assays when minimum 5 plants per plot in atleast 90% of the plots in an experiment have been documented at heading,measurement of leaf thickness was performed using a micro-meter on thesecond leaf below the flag leaf.

Plant Height—In both Seed Maturation and Heading assays once heading wascompletely visible, the height of the first spikelet was measured fromsoil level to the bottom of the spikelet.

Tillers number—In Heading assays manual count of tillers was preformedper plant after harvest, before weighing.

Allplants were grown in the greenhouse until seed maturation. Eachconstruct was validated at its T₁ generation. Transgenic plantstransformed with a construct conformed by an empty vector carrying theBASTA selectable marker were used as control (FIG. 9B).

The plants were analyzed for their overall biomass, fresh weight and drymatter, as well as a large number of yield and yield components relatedparameters. Transgenic plants performance was compared to control plantsgrown in parallel under the same conditions. Mock-transgenic plants withno gene and no promoter at all (FIG. 9B). The experiment was planned inblocks and nested randomized plot distribution within them. For eachgene of the invention five independent transformation events wereanalyzed from each construct.

Phenotyping

Plant Fresh and Dry vegetative weight—In Seed Maturation assays whenmaturity stage has completed (about day 80 from sowing), the plants wereharvested and directly weighed for the determination of the plant freshweight (FW) and left to dry at 70° C. in a drying chamber for about 48hours before weighting to determine plant dry weight (DW).
